[MlMt] Big Sur problem

[Tracy Valleau]

Try holding down the command key while dragging the application to the desktop. Let go of the key and the mouse button, then do it the other way: hold down command and drag the app back to your desired folder.

Not saying this IS the solution to your problem, but "failure to update" is a common issue, and this always works for me.
