non-admin user remote start/stop service not working on Windows Server 2019 with registry key RemoteAccessCheckExemptionList!

New security policy beginning with Windows 10 version 1709 and Windows Server 2016 version 1709 blocks remote callers who are not local administrators from starting/stopping services. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/block-remote-callers-who-are-not-local-administrators-from-starting-stopping-services-c5f77f8e-09e6-57e6-72d1-2c4423627a24)
On Windows Server 2019 registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurePipeServers\SCM key RemoteAccessCheckExemptionList (REG_MULTI_SZ) with value as my service name not working for me!
A non-admin user with granted rights via sc sdset for start / stop target service cannot remotely working as command: sc \\<servername> stop <my service name> or sc \\<servername> start <my service name>
Error 5: Access denied.

Only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control key RemoteAccessExemption with REG_DWORD (32-bit) value set to 1 can globally disable this new check and restore the older, less-secure behavior!
Why RemoteAccessCheckExemptionList does not working?
Can someone else check and confirm this issue?
