Registry check for compatibility Mode regex searches for *Steam.exe$ and produces false positives

Age of Empires IV IV - Report a Bug

Warning check from warnings.log

(I) [09:51:03.538] [000015780]: Loading step: [Running in compatibility mode check]
(I) [09:51:03.538] [000015780]: Registry current user [Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers] has an entry for forcing [steam.exe] to run in compatibility mode.

This is accompanied by the popup message that AOE may be slow/crash that can be delayed every 24 hours.

Registry key D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Path of Exile\PathOfExile_x64Steam.exe causes this false positive for compatibility checks

Deleting the reference for Path Of Exile does fix this issue, but checking for

.*Steam.exe$ (or whatever it is) probably needs a check that the file name matches and Not a partial match. Looks like this doesn’t hurt poe to delete, but there might be ones where compatibility is necessary.
