Just like @Stephen Lewis suggested - make sure you are not logged into the same browser. </p>

<p>For example, log into the CP with Safari (or whatever) and then use Chrome to actually register an account via your front-end form.</p>

<p>Here are my settings for user registration:
\ 
<a href="https://i.sstatic.net/BcaHA.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/BcaHA.jpg" alt="User settings"></a></p>

<p>When front end registration completes the users are added fine but not into the default user group as expected. They are just in the system with no group.
I was expecting them to be registered into the default group - am i missing something?</p>

Were you logged-in whilst testing this? If so, the new user will be created, but not assigned to the "default" group.
