This is from Help and Support. I hope it solves your problem.

To turn on ToggleKeys

ToggleKeys is designed for people who have vision impairment or cognitive
disabilities. When ToggleKeys is turned on, your computer will provide sound
cues when the locking keys (CAPS LOCK, NUM LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK) are
pressed. A high sound plays when the keys are switched on and a low sound
plays when they are switched off.

1.. Open Accessibility Options.
2.. On the Keyboard tab, under ToggleKeys, select the Use ToggleKeys check
box.
To turn off ToggleKeys, clear the Use ToggleKeys check box.

Notes

a.. To open Accessibility Options, click Start, click Control Panel, and
then double-click Accessibility Options.
b.. To use the keyboard shortcut which allows you to turn ToggleKeys on
and off by pressing the NUM LOCK key for five seconds, on the Keyboard tab,
under ToggleKeys, click Settings.
c.. If the Use shortcut check box in the Settings for ToggleKeys dialog
box is selected, you can turn ToggleKeys on or off by holding down the NUM
LOCK key for five seconds.

Hi,

Go to Start/Run/Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Accessibility\ToggleKeys

Once there, in the right pane, double click Flage and set it to 62.
