Bespoke Actions no longer work

I was running a batch process when it unexpectedly stopped working. Initially, the documents were stored on OneDrive, and I didn't think that would cause any issues. However, after moving the documents to my local drive, everything seemed to work fine again. Then suddenly, I started encountering errors like "Camera Raw Filter command not available" and "Save command not available." In fact, none of the commands for any of my batch files are functioning, meaning that all of my custom commands have stopped working as well.

To anyone out there still getting this issue. I found the answer in a 2011 post.

"Make sure you do not have override open commands if you are doing a batch command. That will keep any images from even opening if you did not capture it in your action."

I appreciate your effort to help, but as I mentioned, none of my actions seem to be working anymore. Removing the background was just one example of the issues I’m encountering. I’ve attached an image for reference—thank you for taking the time to assist. Perhaps resolving this will help address the other problems as well. The video I posted was simply to show you my exact process.

I thought you said remove background is throwing an error? This action isn't removing a background.

Unless you can provide some info that relates to the problem, I'm gonna move on. Maybe someone else can help.

This is all there is to it. There aren't any scripts. It is a very basic action

That doesn't help in the least. Please post what I asked for, the expanded actions panel, any scripts, plus your layers panel.

I am currently uninstalling. Will try again once reinstalled and then I can take screen shots. Thanks again

I recommend that you post more details. Show the Actions panel with everything expanded. Post your scripts (are you using try/catch blocks? Or running them in VSCode with a debugger?) We have no idea what might be going wrong with no information.

Oh by the way, I run Scripts, Image processor and then Actions. This worked until it stopped. Also my Automate, Batch process failed too. You can run actions through scripts too. Anyway, not even the default actions are working either

Thank you for your response. As I mentioned in my post, I eventually transferred everything to my local drive. I’ve created entirely new flows, but none of them are functioning at all. For example, when I attempt a simple action like "remove background," I receive the message "remove background command not available," despite successfully using this action on 50 images previously.

Additionally, I created an action to resize my images that worked perfectly for the first hour, but it also failed as other actions began to malfunction. If my actions had failed due to an upgrade or interruption in my usual process, I could start troubleshooting backwards. However, when something is functioning one moment and then stops, it’s quite baffling.

I have upgraded the app, cleared more space on my drive, and deleted and recreated the actions. I'm at a loss for what to do next.
