Yes. In fact, in my Windows gvim, cursor movement using the arrow
keys is the same in both normal and insert modes. Perhaps you have
a mapping or an autocommand that is interfering with the cursor
movement. Try starting gvim from a command prompt as
gvim -u NONE
and see if that works as you think it should. If that works, then
you could try starting gvim as
gvim --noplugin
to load your _vimrc but not your plugins to try to determine whether
the culprit is your _vimrc or a plugin.

Thank you for providing that description. That really helps in
understanding the problem you're seeing. Unfortunately, I don't
know how to interpret those results (my limitation, not yours) but
someone else on this list might.
