Quick Action workspace on Touch Bar doesn't appear while pressing and holding the "Fn" button. It's just black Touch Bar while pressing button. I saw the same threads, but no one of them was solved. Please, help me with this issue.
I have been observing this problem since the BigSur OS. Now I am on 12.4. Problem still here.
MacBook Pro 13' M1 late 2020.
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
1 - Suggest restarting in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
5 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
6 - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).
It will take a Snap Shot - both the hardware and software.

Airplay icon on Touch Bar - Apple Community
Is there a reason the user has allowed this issue to persist and remain unaddressed since the Release of Big Sur macOS 11 in November 2020 ?
Has this issue always been present since the computer was purchased ?
These questions are mine, but I think they are unrelated.
I bought my macbook pro a year ago. In the early days I already had this problem. But so far I assume that this is not a hardware bug, but a software one, because I find enough people on the Internet with the same problem, but no one has solved it
I've done step by step, but no result. There is report from app you described
Quick Action on Touch Bar not visible
