I have a 2022 MacBook Pro 13-inch with M2 . I've been using it for about a month and it works fine with me .
However, for some reason my Touch Bar stopped showing the Control Strip completely . Now it's just completely black when I'm not using any apps .
Can anyone please help me with this ? Thank you .

Thank you so much ! I just discovered that it was actually an issue from the settings . The "Show Control Strip" in the Touch Bar settings was apparently turned off 😅 .

Hi,
Try to following tip.
You can effectively solve the MacBook Pro Touch Bar not working issue by resetting Touch Bar. To reset Touch Bar on MacBook Pro, you need to restart the Touch Bar and Control Strip by running these two commands in Terminal: 'sudo pkill TouchBarServer;' and 'sudo killall ControlStrip.'
