Touch Bar less responsive on Big Sur

I recently upgraded to Big Sur and now the Touch Bar on my 16in MBP sees slow and non responsive. I can usually get it to just things like volume but it sees like I have to double tap or press harder.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.0

Uninstall Security Software:

Any Security Software installed? If so, uninstall it. Use the uninstaller to do so. Contact the developer for the correct method of removal. Its privacy settings are probably disallowing it to be accessed.

Reset the SMC and your NVRAM:

Sometimes when changes are made to the system(i.e. updates), system configurations (i.e. for the touchpad) become manipulated, technically. So, reset the SMC and NVRAM.

Try Safe Mode:

[Hold Down command key + R key] simultaneously upon boot. In Safe Mode, corrupted system setting files (caches), are intentionally fixed.

Boot: in Safe Mode
Log In: as Same User
Wait: 30 seconds
Shut Down: the Mac
Wait: 30 seconds
Boot: the Mac normally
Log In: as Same User
See if can get this to work
