Windows 10: Filter keys option in effect when turned off

The filter keys option in my windows settings is turned off but its still in effect as i cannot hold down a key and have them repeat or when i hold backspace it deletes my typed text 1 for 1 very slowly. Ive already tried deleting my keyboard and re-adding it in time and language settings, restarts and deleting the drivers but to no avail.

• Click Set up Filter Keys.
• Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys when right SHIFT is pressed for 8 seconds.
• Uncheck Turn on Filter Keys.
• Click Apply.
