Touch Bar Disappears When Expanded

Since upgrading to Big Sur, the Touch Bar is completely busted....


  • No matter what programme I open, the Touch Bar icons never change. They only show Brightness, Volume and Mute Volume, with the expand icon.
  • If I tap the 'expand' icon on the Touch Bar, it expands to show all the icons but then the entire Touch Bar goes blank....
