Quick Actions are gone

I only get the “Customize” prompt when I try to use a quick action (usually to join and convert files to a PDF). Noticed this after upgrading to 12.6.1 (my iMac does not qualify for Ventura).


Is this a glitch that can be corrected by tossing and reinstalling a preference file or is the Quick Action function gone?


TIA.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.6

Quick Actions remain in macOS Monterey v12.6.1, apparently except your Mac…


Existing Quick Actions should not have disappeared from the Finder's secondary Quick Actions menu, nor should they have become deselected in the System Preferences > Extensions > Finder list. Check that to see if the extensions are still there, but somehow unselected.


I am using macOS 12.6.1 on both M1 and Intel and neither Mac on any update (including v12.6.1) lost any QA entries whether System Provided (e.g. Create PDF), or any that I wrote that reside in /Users/username/Library/Services folder.
