I've also been having the same problem for at least a couple of weeks now and I just narrowed it down to Dropbox as the culprit. 216.4.4420. I closed the app and restarted, which fixed it for a couple hours, but now it's back to misbehaving.
What I do (see image below): Pressing Dropbox icon in system tray (Win 11) and then clicking folder icon in the Dropbox window to open file explorer. (Opening My Computer and indirectly opening Dropbox folder that way does not cause this issue.)
What happens: Seems that a Num Lock keypress is sent (Num Lock status is toggled from off to on or vice versa).

To clarify my post: I get the on-screen notification that num lock status has changed, but it also actually changes the LED on my keyboard and the behavior of the numpad keys is changed. i.e., this is not just an on-screen notification, but actually is changing the status of num lock.
