Whenever I try to select emojis, activate Siri, or start dictation typing from the Touch Bar nothing happens; the emoji picker doesn't open, Siri does not pop-up, dictation does not start. I first encountered this issue after the update to MacOS 13.0.1 Ventura and is fixed by restarting my Mac. I've noticed it mostly occurs the next day after I leave my Mac sleeping overnight.

Hello Angel_815,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to help get the Touch Bar working as expected on your Mac again.
Use these steps to test if the Function keys work as expected, to help us isolate the issue:
"Function keys
Many macOS keyboard shortcuts use function keys (F1 through F12)—for example, F11 shows the desktop. On a Mac with a Touch Bar, function keys are shown in the Touch Bar.
(depending on your Mac model) on the keyboard.Make sure to customize the Touch Bar in Keyboard settings so the function keys are shown when you press and hold the key.
2. Tap a function key.
If a keyboard shortcut includes a modifier key, such as Option or Command, press and hold Fn or with the modifier key. For example, to use Control-F3 to move to the Dock, press and hold Fn or and the Control key together, then tap F3 in the Touch Bar.
See the Apple Support article Use the function keys on MacBook Pro with Touch Bar."

If the issue continues after a restart since you're using the latest macOS version, please reach out to an Apple Support Advisor for further assistance: Get Support
Cheers!
Hello Angel_815,
Thanks for updating us with this information, and clarifying which options appear to be working.
Let's run an Apple Diagnostics test on your Mac to see if any information is reported regarding the hardware of your MacBook Pro. For assistance with that, check out the steps below to get started with this, and you can find more details here: Use Apple Diagnostics to test your Mac - Apple Support

1. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button as your Mac starts up.
2. Release when you see the startup options window, which includes a gear icon labeled Options.
3. Press Command (⌘)-D on your keyboard.
If you see that service is needed, you can contact Apple Support directly to assist with this. In addition, let us know if this occurs in a test user account to see if this is isolated. For assistance with adding a user account to test with, check out this resource: Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
Take care!
Pressing Fn (globe) F3 and Control selects the dock. Pressing Fn (globe) F11 does not show the desktop, I wonder if it has anything to do with having the bottom right corner set as a hot corner for showing the desktop. Pressing the Siri button on the Touch Bar also does nothing, but this is fixed by restarting my computer.
