Quick Actions not showing on touch bar using fn key

I have the exact same problem as described in this previous question but on Mac OS Monterey 12.4:


Hello,
I updated my MacBookPro (2017) to Big Sur. I've got in Preferences -> Keyboard -> option "Press and hold Fn key to: Show Quick Actions" checked, but actions are not visible. The only option to show actions in Touch Bar is to add "Quick Actions" button to Control Strip.
I'd like to still use Quick Actions on Touch Bar with Fn key like before.

Regards
Pawel


I tried all solutions mentioned in the replies without any success.

Hi krawitz,


You’re seeking guidance regarding getting Quick Actions to show via the Touch Bar. Is that correct? If so, you’re in the right place to receive support, and we recommend the following troubleshooting steps via the link below.


Use Quick Action workflows on Mac - Apple Support


Please remember that if you have a workflow, you frequently use—for example, adding a watermark to large sets of images—and you want to make it easy to get to, you can create a Quick Action workflow. It is then available from Finder windows, the Services menu, or the Touch Bar (on a Mac with a Touch Bar).


To perform the troubleshooting actions we recommended via the article above, please read through and complete the steps in the section titled “Set preferences for Quick Actions in the Touch Bar.”


We’re recommending the steps above because they directly address the issue you initially reached out to the community about, which is that you wanted to know how to get Quick Actions to show via the Touch Bar.


If the original problem persists after trying the previous steps, please provide us with specifics on what you see for more help, and we will continue from there.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.


Cheers!
