I've tried to answer this question: Removing Armature and Keeping pose and apply the Armature Modifier, when suddenly the 'Modifier is disabled, skipping apply' error window appeared. How to fix it, so I may apply the modifier? enter image description here

Without proper settings a modifier is "disabled" as it can't perform it's task. To enable a modifier, suitable options need to be chosen - for the armature modifier that is assigning an armature to it.

armature modifier

Given that the modifier is not doing anything you could also delete it without effect.

Check if your viewport is set to 0. Just turn it up to see the effect of the modifier. This worked for me for Subdivision surface modifier

  • I had this problem with the SubSur but not lucky. My solution was to copy the object and armature to another file and the SubSur worked. Mysterious... – LeoNas Oct 12 '22 at 19:03
  • That was the ticket for me. Subsurf modifier can't work if Viewport Max Subdivision is set to 0.
