Windows 10: Help Num Lock beeps, and sorting the beeping makes mouse cursor disappear

My windows 10 was left overnight. Nothing new. Now when I press the Num Lock key it beeps. Turned off sticky keys and toggle keys. Looking around I found that this was a mouse setting problem. When I turn off Mouse Keys in the Mouse settings of the EAse of Access category, it stops the beeping when I press Num Lock but my mouse cursor disappears. Need to sort this out.

How to turn off beeping sound on num lock

OT- Num Lock Beep Sound

Hi

Yesterday I was seeing my settings and there i found Toggle Key Option which enables the sound when Caps lock key or Num lock key is pressed, then i enabled it and checked after that i Disabled it again. Today when i pressed num lock key i found that beep
sound is still on and the toggle key is disabled. Caps Lock key not making any sound only Num Lock key is making beep sound. I tried to enable it again and disable but then also it is making that beep sound and I found that number pad is also not working.

If there is any solution for this then please provide me in the comment section.

Thank You...

Num Lock beep won't disable AND Number Pad not typing numbers

I had a friend bring her laptop in. She has Windows 10

Previously the keyboard was disabled due to windows updates hanging.

I connected an external keyboard, connected to our wifi, and let windows updates finish and restart (update 1909). It ran overnight and an hours or so into the morning once I logged on. Every thing seemed to be fine so I gave her the laptop back.

After a few days she calls back saying that her numlock key is making beeping noises. Incidentally, the Num Lock key on this laptop has no light.

I looked at the laptop and searched online. It appears that there is a feature in her Windows 10 laptop, under
Ease of Access / Keyboard called Toggle Keys.

I fiddled around with this but could not get the beep to go away. Also, the number pad would never type numbers BUT would allow it to work as arrow keys.

The Toggle Keys info in Win10 shows:

Use Toggle Keys

Play a sound whenever you press Caps Lock, Num Lock, or Scroll Lock.

[on / off]

It also has a check box below:

[ ] - Allow the shortcut key to start to start Toggle Keys

"Press and hold the Num Lock key for five seconds to turn on Toggle Keys"

I turned off the toggle and it toggles off/on the Caps Lock beep but not the
Num Lock beep (I did not find a Scroll Lock).

I left the Shortcut Key enabled/checked and held down the
Num Lock key for five seconds. This did bring up a window asking if I wanted to turn on
Toggle Keys.

I played around with this but still the Number Pad would not type numbers and would either not do anything OR it would act as arrow keys.

Also, with Toggle Keys on or off, the Num Lock
key would always make a beep. The beep has a higher note for being enabled and a lower note for being disabled. It does not matter if what
Toggle Keys is set at nor if the Num Lock is on or off, the
Number Pad doesn't work.

Looking for a solution for turning off the beeping noise AND getting the
Number Pad to work.
