Can someone help me with these regex on inputs.conf on universal forwarder?

For some reason, isn't working. Much appreciated!

blacklist7 = EventCode=4673 Process_Name="C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AD2F1837.myHP_25.52341.876.0_x64__v10z8vjag6ke6\win32\DesktopExtension.exe"

blacklist8 = EventCode=4673 Process_Name="C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\AD2F1837.myHP_26.52343.948.0_x64__v10z8vjag6ke6\win32\DesktopExtension.exe"

I was able to successfully blacklist the below, so I am not sure why the difference.

blacklist6 = EventCode=5156 Application_Name="\device\harddiskvolume3\gcti\tsrvciscocm\cisco_cucm_tserver_bu_2\ciscocm_server.exe"

 Application Name: \device\harddiskvolume3\gcti\tsrvciscocm\cisco_cucm_tserver_bu_2\ciscocm_server.exe
