bValidateOnOpen registry key error?

Adobe Reader: I do not need Verification of the signatures when a pdf document is opened. I switch off the "bValidateOnOpen" registry key with a policy. (HKCU/Software/Acrobat Reader/DC/Security/cDigSig) But it seems, that few days ago it does not work! I checked in the registry.

If I switch the key manually in the program GUI (Edit/Preferences/Signatures/Verification/VerifySignaturesWhenTheDocumentIsOpened) it does not switches the registry key from 1 to 0 or back. 

If I do it the other way around and change it from 0 to 1 in the registry, the check mark does not appear in the GUI.

t seems as if the connection between the GUI and the registry is broken.

 

Are you experiencing this too, or is it just bad on my machines?
