Invalid Action

When trying to browse for CRM org, I started to get following Error


Invalid Action
The selected action was not valid.


When looking into event viewer got following information.


Current key (KeyType : CrmWRPCTokenKey) is expired. This can indicate that a key is not being regenerated correctly. Current Key : CrmKey(Id:4e1d5f40-4d60-e511-a481-00155dc1050c, ScaleGroupId:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000, KeyType:CrmWRPCTokenKey, Expired:True, ValidOn:09/21/2015 10:41:04, ExpiresOn:10/24/2015 10:41:04, CreatedOn:09/21/2015 10:41:04, CreatedBy:<domain>\<domain user name>.




Resolution:
Start the async service (this could be stopped for many reasons, running out of space/performace and developer thought to stop, service was configured to run under user account and the useraccount either expired or disabled and now async service no longer running). Once async service started restart IIS after 5 minutes, so that new generated keys can be used.
