The file jenkins.exe.config controls the way Windows executes the program "jenkins.exe". It does not store the global Jenkins configuration.
The global Jenkins configuration (including the <useSecurity> setting) is stored in a file named "config.xml". The file that needs to be modified is not named "jenkins.exe.config", it is named "config.xml". If you search your file system (Windows search, or with a find command) for a file which contains the text "<useSecurity>true</useSecurity>" and is named "config.xml", that is the file. A file of any other name won't do. Adding the text to any other file won't do. All the best!
