Caps Lock Key beeping persistence

Running Windows 10 Pro, up to date except for the 2004 update
(waiting for Woody to tell me it's okay to install) on a
months-old HP desktop. I depress the Num Lock key for 5+ seconds
and I am offered the choice to Toggle Keys, I press Yes but the
choice doesn't stick, usually going away when I reboot.

Is there a Registry fix to make the Toggle Keys choice persist?
Since I have nerve numbness problems in my left pinkie, I'm never
sure what key that finger has pressed. I mistakenly press the
Caps Lock often when going for the Shift or Tab or "a" key, so
I'd like to have the beeping every time I press the Caps Lock
key.

Thanks in advance for your help.

yep, I don't use sticky keys or filter keys, but I do like the beep from
toggle keys, never known it to turn off by itself.

You might want to download and use the free Sharpkeys
(https://www.randyrants.com/category/sharpkeys/). Two keys I never want
to use are CapsLock and Insert. They are both keys I might hit
accidentally, so I use Sharpkeys to turn them off permanently. It's a
registry fix for each of them, but it's much easier and safer to do it
with Sharpkeys than with Regedit.
