Thank you for the photo.


Troubleshooting Red Touch Bar:


  • Create a New Administrator User:

Create a new Administrator user and see what happens. If it does not occur, then it is something configured in your current user. If it does occur, then it is a hardware issue, or an issue with the macOS. Create this as the Administrator in: System Preferences > Users & Groups. Once done using with it, log back in to this user, and then trash the one you've just created.


  • Boot into Safe Mode:

Try logging in using Safe Mode (Hold down shift key upon boot). See if you can log in. Items only load as they do by default, while you are booted into Safe Mode. All caches are set aside.  Go Here: Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support


  • Report to Apple:
