Why does WMI API and SerialPort class return default configurations of a port com?

Question

I changed the configuration of my Port Com in device manager but my serialPort class and the WMI API Class Win32_SerialPortConfiguration keep returning the default configuration of this port com.

 using (RegistryKey ndpKey = RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RegistryView.Registry32).OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows NT\\CurrentVersion\\Ports"))
         {
             foreach (string name in ndpKey.GetValueNames())
             {
                 if (name.Remove(name.IndexOf(":")).ToLower().Equals(ComName.ToLower()))
                 {
                     var tempArray = ndpKey.GetValue(name).ToString().Split(',');
                     int speed = 0;
                     char parity = ' ';
                     int dataBits = 0;
                     Decimal stopBit = 0;
                     string parityS ="";
                     ComSettings.Add("Name", ComName);
                     if ((Int32.TryParse(tempArray[0], out speed)) && (Int32.TryParse(tempArray[2], out dataBits)) && (Decimal.TryParse(tempArray[3].Replace(".", ","), out stopBit)) && (Char.TryParse(tempArray[1], out parity)))
                     {

                         ComSettings.Add("Speed", speed);
                         ComSettings.Add("DataBits", dataBits);
                         ComSettings.Add("StopBits", stopBit);
                         switch (parity)
                         {
                             case 'e':
                                 parityS = "Even";
                                 break;
                             case 'n':
                                 parityS = "None";
                                 break;
                             case 'o':
                                 parityS = "Odd";
                                 break;
                             case 'm':
                                 parityS = "Mark";
                                 break;
                             case 's':
                                 parityS = "Space";
                                 break;
                         }
                         ComSettings.Add("Parity", parityS);
                     }
                     break;
                 }
             }
         }

This code returns the state of a port com as it's set in a device manager.
