Is it possible to permanently disable the Filter Keys: Ignore Brief or Repeated Keystrokes Ease of Access setting in Windows 8?

It seems to be reactivating itself. I'll notice that repeated letters stop registering while typing a document, and it's frustrating to keep returning to the Ease of Access control panel to turn it off again.

I don't think I'm doing anything unusual, apart from being a fairly fast typist.

This may be happening since the keyboard shortcut to activate Filter keys may still be enabled (this is the default). Under the Turn on Filter keys option, click the link that says Setup Filter Keys. Here, uncheck the option Turn on Filter keys when right SHIFT is pressed for 8 seconds.
