Touch Bar MacBook Pro Malfunctioning

MacBook Pro, 2017 Touch Bar not responding and will intermittently start flashing and going through the entire bar of commands essentially sending my computer into a crazy mode of following commands. I have tried everything suggested including restarting my computer in safe mode, force quitting the touch bar in the terminal, running CleanMyMac X, and reinstalling macOS. It still doesn't work. The most frustrating issue is not being able to adjust my volume or screen brightness from the bar itself. I am assuming that I will need to take it in for repair. Any thoughts?

<CleanMyMac X> sadly one of the worst...I would start there. Reinstall the macOS after you uninstall it and compare your results.



First I would Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/Anti-Virus/VPN

all known to cause issues on the macOS



third party software—

Look for a built-in or in-app uninstaller and use that.


If in doubt refer to the developers website; Support/Help/FAQ/known issues/compatibility /updates/uninstall:

Contact a third party vendor
