The button is only effective for registered apps - i.e., those in
HKLM\Software\RegisteredApplications. The app name in the registry (as written
when installing) must be the same as passed to the function; to find out which
is the string passed to the function, please execute soffice --version, which
would give something like

> ...
> LibreOfficeDev 6.5.0.0.alpha0 46920005f74edcb70acfb8dd1a0ffb9553e5c2b2

and from this, LibreOfficeDev 6.5 (i.e., name and first two digits with dot
between them) is the app name as should be present under
HKLM\Software\RegisteredApplications. The string value in registry should point
to Capabilities registry key. For testing, e.g. for me it's enough to add
"LibreOfficeDev 6.5" to the RegisteredApplications, with value of "SOFTWARE\The
Document Foundation\LibreOffice\6.3\Capabilities" pointing to capabilities of
existing LO 6.3 installation.

And then, on Windows before 10, 'Set Defaults by App' should open; on Windows
10, according to MS policy, https://i.stack.imgur.com/7N2xp.png should appear,
suggesting to user where to set the settings.
