Power Automate Desktop can't open an Excel Sheet on my One Drive (Active workbook retireval error)

Hi All.

Today (Monday) I also got this error on a flow that worked perfectly on Friday.

 

I placed the Launch Excel action as the first step of my flow to catch the error fast, so far little luck.

 

I tried repairing the office installation, uninstalled and reinstalled power automate desktop, switched off the computer, killed processes in windows's task manager. I cleared the power automate cache, created copies of my documents on my desktop (since they were originally on my one drive).

 

I have no idea how to find out what might cause the issue.

I am on Power Automate 2.28.135.23016

 

Thanks for the help.
