Touch Bar app controls won't show on Music. MacBook Pro 2020

The App controls on TouchBar won't show specifically on Music.

Every time I restart my Mac it works again, but as soon as I leave and return to music it stops showing again and only shows the F keys like before.

MacBook Pro 2020 10.15.7

The Touch Bar works just fine on all the other apps.

I was looking for Touch Bar setting on music but I wasn't able to find anything.



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Try making changes to your user preferences— and test, then comes back to your preferred settings and test again.

trouble shoot further you can:


—Try a SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262

Takes noticeable longer to get to the login screen, does a 5-15 minute disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, including dynamic loader cache, etc. Login and test. Reboot and test as caches get rebuilt.


In Safe mode third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled, it removes malware, etc hampering smooth operation, however a reboot will put it back to normal mode.


This test will tell you if third party interference; extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.



—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204443

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.

Hey,
I tried booting on safe mode and it still had the same issue in the Music app.
but when I tried logging into my Mac from a different user the issue was gone and the app control on music worked perfectly fine. what else can I do to resolve this issue?



Problem is your user account.


You can try re-installing the Combo update  macOS 10.15.7 https://support.apple.com/kb/DL2052?locale=en_US

on top of your existing macOS 10.15.7 to resolve anomalies.
