How do I turn off the touch bar on my Mac Book Pro?


It loves to auto mute and auto unmute me constantly!

Having the same question. Despite the TouchBar being a really poor invention, for my specific setup I do not need it and yet it is glowing in the dark while MacBook Pro screen is off, when working with external monitor and keyboard.


It is ridiculous disable the TouchBar is impossible. It forces me to close the MacBook Pro but that then also prevents using TouchID.


Sorry, but someone did not think this through properly.
