Why isn't PlayerPrefs.GetInt() in unity not working?

I am working on a project where I want to make a Scoreboard scene but before I started, I wanted to know and understand what PlayerPrefs.GetInt() was. After reading the api, I did a test to see if it works. I went to the registry editor on windows, went to my project and added a new string value called Player Name, and I attached an int value of 20, just for the test. I created an int variable called number and I made it public so I can see what value is attached to it when I ran unity. Here is my script:

public int number;

void Start() {
    number = PlayerPrefs.GetInt ("Player Name", 10);
}

And for some kind of reason, the only number attached to number is 10. Why? I would really appreciate your help. If you have any questions, you can simply ask.

That's just wrong. You don't set PlayerPrefs from the Registry. You use the PlayerPrefs.SetInt to save it and PlayerPrefs.GetInt to read it.

Save:

PlayerPrefs.SetInt("Player Name", 20);
PlayerPrefs.Save();

Read:

int number = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("Player Name", 20);
