Touch Bar on MacBook not working - Not showing

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 .
