Please Help My Macbook Pro 2018 started misbehaving after i Upgraded my OS to the latest Big Sur 11.2.3 version. First My Mac was restarting by itself everytime its supposed to be hibernating after which i noticed that my touch bar was blank. I have tried to fix using the Activity monitor method and also try the "kill Script ' method via terminal but none of the method works. Please what do i do?
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

Thanks, that seems to be a really old conversation. Also, it is definitely not looking like a hardware issue since the problem started after updating to v11.2.3. Also, any hardware issue shouldn't make the "customise control strip" option disappear from settings. I have reinstalled the latest version and the problem still persists. I'll be going back to Catalina and seeing if that fixes it. That should clarify it.
I am facing the same issue. It just blacked out right after I updated to Big Sur 11.2.3. on my Macbook Pro 2019. The "customise control strip" option also just vanished from Keyboard Settings. I too have tried all possible kill script commands via terminal, and was on a call with support and did everything they told me but no luck.
So it turns Out after several cycle of going Off and On . It came back to normal and also the system stopped going Off and On . So if your system is also going Off and On , allow it to run its course . After a while your system will boot up again to become normal and your touchbar is supposed to come On by then. If this is normal after upgrading to v11.2.3 , I think apple should state that this should be expected or atleast let it be known that several sequence of “Off and On” is to be expected after the upgrade
