Whenever I use the arrow keys my cursor moves two spaces.  This is really annoying and I've tried looking for help elsewhere. It is just my local PC.  If I'm connected to remote desktop, this doesn't happen.

That was several suggestions so I want to clarify that updating the BIOS was the solution. 

 

Changing the mouse and drivers did not do anything.

 

Thank you so much.  I feel relieved.

My PC didn't stay fixed.  I don't know what to do about the arrow movement issue.
