Touch bar is not showing, but functional to touch

Hi, I have a macbook pro m1. My touch bar suddenly stopped showing, But, when I touch certain areas from my memory it works. Also when the mac turns on, the control strip blinks twice with white light lighting the whole area. I have tried several methods and still it doesn't show. I have tried restarting the "TouchBarServer" and "Control Strip" from both the activity monitor and terminal. I have checked the settings whether the "show control strip" is on & I have also run the system diagnostics from which I got code "ADP000 - No Issues found". I have recently updated MacOS to 15.0.1 and I'm not sure if it's because of that also. Please help.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.0
