Touch Bar Not Working

My touch bar suddenly stopped working and I've restarted my computer several times and no fix. How can I fix it?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Generally a good place to start (if a normal restart isn't working) is with a NVRAM (PRAM) reset and SMC reset. They may sound complicated, but it's pretty much as simple as holding down a couple buttons while your computer starts. Your computer should have the T2 chip since it's a 2020 model, so for the SMC reset you'll need to follow those instructions.
