Hard to say what may 'just work.' However you could try reset

of System Management Controller. ~ Follow all details as they

may apply, (or may not, to your specific model.)

Some other resets could help; conditionally.

..Sometimes the simple process of 'shut down, & start up

in Safe mode' ~ per article instruction, can help fix stuff..

Then restart again to run Mac in normal mode.

Apple Silicon-based Mac; may require additional detail.)
