I've been looking for answers to this issue and can't find anything helpful. I tried recommendations to force-quit it via terminal and other suggestions, but it just continues to flicker.


Possible Fixes: SMC/NVRAM/PRAM or the Activity Manager

Resetting the SMC Reset the SMC of your Intel Mac or resetting NVRAM/PRAM Reset NVRAM on your Mac does not seem to help for to long before the flickering starts again.

Nor does quiting the Control Strip or Touch Bar Server in the Activity Monitor.

All current resolves do help for the short periods of time but there are none which fixes the issue.

Possible Fix: Update your OS

I honestly do not want to update my mac as apple has presented that as one of the options. Due, to this flickering annoyance was initially caused by an update. Until more posts turn up about a specific OS update resolving this issue.

Can I turn it off? Why is it suddenly flickering? Why does Apple not provide more lasting resolves for issues these days?

2021...(?) This is a M-series Mac

No SMC or NVRAM on the M1/M2/M3/M4 SoC

The best you can do if you have an issue— equivalent Shut down, close the lid 30 secs+ , reboot as normal.
