Since updating to Big Sur 11.6 my touch bar has spotted responding, I can see all controls and the controls change with differant apps but does not respond to touch, I have tried various things like reseting SMC and in safe mode but still does not work, any ideas?

On the Intel Mac with T2 chip
Even though SMC controls the touchbar, some USB is in play, so this would be NVRAM (or reboot.) notice:
USB Device: Apple T2 Bus
USB Device: Touch Bar Backlight
USB Device: Touch Bar Display
USB Device: Apple T2 Controller
try both—
resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295
resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)
If no resolve it typically points to a hardware issue.

Hi Sharhari, I have already run this but no faults were found, after some more research I have found the Touch Bar agent is missing from Activity Monitor which I have read needs to be force quit, not sure why it has disappeared and don’t now how to reinstall it.
Apple Diagnostics Test:
Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support
See if it reports any issue.
