Nvidia-settings can't find registry key file

This ERROR keeps appeared in the journal log:

Mar 14 23:34:49 LDesk slim[353]: ERROR: nvidia-settings could not find the registry key file. This file

I don't use application profiles, and have that unchecked in the settings.

If I use 'nvidia-settings' from the console, I get that same error (above) before the GUI loads.

Re: Nvidia-settings can't find registry key file

I am getting the exact same error, did you experience this behavior using older versions of nvidia-settings?

Re: Nvidia-settings can't find registry key file

Today I saw a file /usr/share/nvidia -> nvidia-application-profiles-334.21-rc

So I decided to try this: 

 sudo cp nvidia-application-profiles-334.21-rc nvidia-application-profiles-key-documentation

And now nvidia-settings doesn't show me that error.
