Hi there ahfazansari,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand your MacBook Pro Touch Bar is flashing unusually. Let's start with the following steps.


Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac


Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac -- If resetting NVRAM didn't resolve the issue, restart your Mac in safe mode and test how it responds. Afterwards, reboot normally and log into your own user account. Remember this when booting in safe mode: Graphics performance limited in macOS Recovery, safe mode, or Guest User mode 


How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac -- If the issue is also happening in safe mode, use this article to create and test a new administrative user account. This will demonstrate if the issue is isolated to your account, or if it's system wide.


We look forward to hearing how these steps go.


All the best.
