I'm working on a project where I suddenly realized that the object Move arrows are no longer aligned to the grid, rather they're aligned to my viewing position in the 3D view. I must have done something to make this happen; how do I change the Move arrows back to be aligned to the grid? Thanks. Windows 10, Blender 3.0.0

You are currently using view transform orientation. Because of this, the gizmo will always be oriented toward your view.
From the manual on view transform orientation:
View
Align the transformation axes to the window of the 3D Viewport:
Y: Up/Down
X: Left/Right
Z: Towards/Away from the screen
You may change it back to global in the header as shown below.
