Ok so I had another got at following @Fer-SH-1979's advice. I flew through the tunnel repeatedly and counted the amount of notes I was picking up. Eventually after around 45 of them, they started counting toward the arcanist archives challenge. Once the number started going up, every note was an arcanist archive, so it completed pretty quickly.
I continued for another hour or so until the server shut down, but didn't manage to get any progress on the sentinel challenge.
I'll try again in a bit when my brain less numbed!
Edit - Finally finished the sentinels challenge! Took around another 2 hours to complete, but got there in the end. Clearly there is a definite bug with these challenges, but turns out persistence eventually pays off! Thank you @Fer-SH-1979!!!

@reptronboy@clover-cursedThis could be a visual bug. It might be tedious, but you could collect them 25 times to see if the challenge completes.
Also, check the challenge progress when you are inside Fort Tarsis, and not while in freeplay to see if they show any changes.

I have done all that many times still the same outcome.

@redlightarc1I must have collected 100 of each and it's still reading 7/25 for both, over weeks of trying

Yep. I got all 25 sentinel archives but am now permanently stuck on 10/25 arcanist ones. Even made a new pilot but that didn't work.

Same thing here on PS4.
I even checked online to see the locations where they usually appear, like down to the left in the tunnel from Fort Tarsis outside the Yvenias vault. They are meant to work if there are either Sentinels or Arcanists standing next to it which I have had on both occasions. This is not graphical only either as I have had more than 25 of each and come out of Freeplay, where it still shows the same amount for both.
The Dominion intel worked fine, I came in and out of Freeplay and they tallied up just fine and completed. Got the Scar and Outlaw intel done too.
The Arcanist and Sentinel intel will not count and I have picked up so very, very many of them. It even comes up with "added to cortex" but no increase in the challenge count, just xp. This is all I need for distinguished explorer and its very frustrating. I started a new pilot and still the same problem, which I had to do this to complete the Runes or Idris etc challenge.
For the Runes, I even checked a youtube video of ALL locations and went around each one, took me 3 hours and the runes were simply not there. So then I made the new pilot and the runes completed (thankfully), but not the Arcanist or Sentinel challenges.
Merediths peer completed ok.
This is so frustrating, please fix it Bioware!

Same here on PS4. Stucked on 9/25 in both archanist and sentinel archives. Have already made a new pilot, changed difficult and more. Nothing works.
