I am not able yo see my touch bar light up after the update, tried to do the apple support suggestions like pkill TouchBarServer to restart it and restart the system, nothing seems to be fixing the problem. This is a MacBookPro M1 laptop. What are the other options to explore ? Is this a known issue from apple?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 15.3

—A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled temporarily.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
— run the user Diagnostic...not as definitive as Apple's own AST2 (Apple Service Toolkit) back bench diagnostic, but may kick out an error code.

I have the same problem (M1 MacBook Pro, german version). Since the 15.3.1. update Touch Bar is always off. Tried several things, nothing worked. :(
TouchBar not working after update to latest software 15.3.1 (24D70)
