Touchbar disappeared (Monterey)

Hi,


My touchbar on my MacBook Pro 2020 has disappeared and I cant bring it back with the usual codes in Terminal as I have updated my mac to the latest Monterey.


Are there new codes for resetting the Touchbar in Monterey or what do I need to do?

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

On an Intel Mac the best you can do is —

Try resetting the SMC https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295


Try resetting NVRAM/PRAM http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

(get at least two-three rounds of the chimes when holding the NRAM Reset)




on an M1 Mac—equivalent Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal.

If no resolve try SafeBoot https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201262 to sort anomalies.
