How do I turn off the keyboard clicking sound in Windows 10 for the long-term?

I have a new computer with a wireless keyboard and mouse.  Every time I depress a letter or shift key I get a click, the caps lock key has a piercing tone.  I can temporarily disabled sounds by holding down the right shift key for about eight seconds. Unfortunately, every time I restart the computer the clicks are back.

Does anyone know how to disable keyboard clicking sounds in the Windows 10 settings?

Thank you for your prompt reply.  Your suggestion solved half the issues.  That is, it turned off the piercing noise I would hear when I pressed the caps lock button (and apparently the number lock and scroll lock which I don't actually have on my keyboard). 

Unfortunately, the clicking still remained which sent me to look around in the Ease of Access keyboard settings where I found the other half of the answer... under Filter Keys, there is a switch to turn off "Beep when keys are pressed or accepted."

Very happy thank you.
