How to turn off snap in Photoshop

Can someone help me with this? When I'm moving an element around in it's window, it jumps (snaps) several pixels at a time. I need it not to do that. I have tried everything I can think of.
I have unchecked snap in "view".
Under "snap to" I have it set to "none".
In preferences-tools, I have unchecked "snap vector tools and transform to pixel grid"
I have held down the control button.
I also have held down ctrl/shift.
View>show>smart guides (uncheck)
Nothing changes. This happens whether using the move tool or the arrows on the keyboard.
I'm on a PC and my photoshop is the newest version.
TY for any help!

"This happens whether using the move tool or the arrows on the keyboard."

If you are not holding Shift when using arrows then it is not normal and you can try with preference reset https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html
