Has anyone run into this before. I just noticed that about 1/8 of my touch bar is not showing. I can still hit those items the volume up and the siri. Help how do i fix???
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
3.1 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
I am having the Sam issue with my MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018). The Touch Bar works, but that 1.5 inches on the right went blank, almost as if a light bulb went out.
i have gone through the suggestions mentioned in this post above, but no success.

Hello techvader1,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're not seeing icons on the right side of the Touch Bar on your MacBook Pro, however you're still able to tap and use the icons. You've come to the right place for help.
I'd like to start by having you reset the NVRAM, then SMC on your Mac. Test if the issue still occurs after:
Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac
How to reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac
If there's no change after, does the same issue occur if you change which apps and buttons are shown in the Touch Bar? What if you select the Expand Control Strip option, then deselect it?
Customize the Touch Bar on Mac
Cheers!
Hi techvader1,
Thanks for getting back to us. If you have another user account, can you see if the same thing happens in that account? If you don't have another user account, here's how to create one for testing:

If this is happening in another user account as well, you may need to consider reinstalling macOS:

Take care.
Hi techvader1,
It sounds like there may be a potential hardware issue with the Mac at this point. See if anything is found when you run Apple Diagnostics next:
How to use Apple Diagnostics on your Mac - Apple Support
If there's no issues detected or solutions suggested, consider visiting an Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider for further diagnosis:
If you plan to visit an Apple Retail Store, make a Genius Bar reservation here:

Regards.
Thank you for the help, I did try all your suggestions and still no go. Yes depending on the app it is the same way also. Selecting Expand Control Strip option, then deselect it, did not help either.
Hi Brenden, I tried your suggestion and no go, need to more ideas???
Thank you!!!
Thank you Sterling R, ran that and it came and no issue found. Will have to decide if i want to take it out there or not, not under warranty anymore.
Thank you
Hello techvader1,
Sounds like a plan and you're very welcome. Please reach out if you do need help in the future, we'll be here for you.
Take care.
Touchbar- Touch Bar icons not showing about the right 1/8 of it.
