@pv-g Are you really able to use Samra? Arc seems to turn off the the switch in "security and privacy" as soon as I try to make a modification.

I seem to be having the same issue. It worked for me until recently. Now every time I try to edit the icon for Arc with Samra something disables Samra's App Management access.
