Power Automate will not open Excel or Run another desktop flow from a flow.

Hi ..
I have updated the Power Automate desktop software on my local pc to version
2.39.306.23341.
In the cloud i made a new solution and added exiting Desktop flow (my templates) to the solution
.
The desktop flow are my templates witch i made some weeks ago
. In my template i open another desktop flow - but now i having trouble in opening i. Before the update i was able to open it.

I just tried to make 2 new desktop flow. And from Desktop Flow 1 i have no problem in calling Desktop Flow 2.
I then tried from Desktop 1 calling my old Desktop flow - but with no success. So there seems to be some kind of "hack" when updating the Power Automate software. 

From "my flows" i have also tried to select the 2 old desktop flows and right clicked and choose "Create a copy".. This doesn't work. Same error. Then i have open my templates one by one, and choose "Save as", and created 2 new desktop flows. This does not work either..

 

I have heard that the version 2.39.306.23341 have a bug on this - but this actually make all my flows that i created earlier that opens an application or runs another desktop flow breaks.

Is it possible that the update has destroyed my templates?
Has anyone experienced this before
?
