    @Ovi Thanks for confirming it works on a new account.

     

     

    My earlier suggestion did not involve reinstalling Alfred, but rather following these steps:

     

    1. Disable text expansion in Alfred's Features > Snippets preferences

    2. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and remove Alfred Text Service

    3. Go back to Alfred, enable text expansion, and follow the setup process again (which will re-add Alfred Text Service to the Accessibility prefs)

     

    This allows the permissions to be set once again, which may be sufficient to tell the newly upgraded macOS that you give Accessibility access to Alfred Text Service.

     

    Let me know how you get on. :)

     

    Cheers,
    Vero

     

     

    There should be one more step after the troubleshooting: Toggle ALL the "Auto expansion allowed" box for the snippets they'd like to enable. For some reason, doing this seemingly unnecessary step after the steps you mentioned solved my problem...

     

    A somewhat interesting detail when following the troubleshooting steps you mentioned: After re-enabling text expansion from Alfred, the Alfred Text Service automatically launches, guided me to grant the permission in System Preferences. But after enabling it in accessibility tab, the text service sometimes kept appearing in the dock instead of disappearing, and no window showed up when I tried to switch to it. Other times, it just went away. Now switch to Alfred, the checkbox for "expand snippets" is still off. When I tried to tick it, Alfred either launches text service "setup wizard" again with the dock icon or just silently ticked the box without any trace of text service's window or in the dock.
