Touch Bar invisible but functional

Hello,


The Touch Bar on my 2020 M1 MacBook Pro suddenly became invisible. It is still fully functional, but it looks like a blank black strip now.


My MacBook also started crashing at the same time. Every time I turn it off, it reboots and I get a ''Device was restarted because of a problem'' message.


How can I fix this?
