Control strip does not show on my touch bar anymore

Hi, my control strip is not appearing at all on my touch bar. I have tried in settings to turn this on and off and customise it but it does not appear still! It is really annoying to not have easy access to volume/brightnness.

Verify you make changes to your Settings—then come back to your preferred setting

>System Settings> Search Touchbar




still have issues:


M1 SoC - SMC reset equivalent is  Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal


no resolve—Try a SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support



If you still have an issue it typically indicates a hardware issue.

You do not say what exact Mac is this...(?)


As you can imagine they are not all the same— Intel/M1/M2
