I use TeXworks all the time, and have no registry entry default-Encoding 
— I suspect that your problem lies with MikTeX rather than with 
TeXworks.  Download a new copy of the latter from the (non-MikTeX) 
reference site, and install it in a location other than that in which 
MikTeX  has installed its copy.
