Action Shortcut doesn't launch the Action

Question

I have created an action in Photoshop CC and a Windows 10 PC. I assigned it F11 shortcut. When I want to launch that action, F11 does nothing.

I created the same action and this time assigned it Ctrl F11 to launch. Now when I try to launch it, again...nothing.

I also note that when launching other Actions with their shortcut, the action doesn't launch but instead, a different action launches. For example, Shift F10 is supposed to rotate the image 180 degrees but instead I get a "The command "Flip" is not currently available."

Any thoughts?

The Action where you get "The command "Flip" is not currently available." could you have recorded menu Edit>Transform>Flip not menu Image>Image Rotate>Flip. If transform flip is what was recorded. If the background layer in the active document Photoshop's current target transform would not be available. The failing steo should be hilighliteg ind the action paletted in the failing sten when the message is displayed.

It should be the Action with F10 assigeed in the action palette.

On top of that Flip is more a rotate in 3D space to produce a mirrored view not a rotate 180 which would turn the image upside down.

Assigning Function keys should work and play the action even if the function key assigned was a Photoshop Shortcut the Action assignment would override adobe function key shortcut. Try resetting your Photoshop preferences.
