Touch Bar Flashing

Hello, this has been highly annonying.


I got info from bloggerstale.com. I have found a solution to this dreaded TouchBar Flickering. This may work in solving the Flickering issue. I couldn't find "TouchBar Server" (as stated below) but found "Control Strip" which I quit and mine's not flashing anymore. We'll see how long it lasts?!


""You need to refresh your Touch Bar:


Go to Activity Monitor on your Mac- search for 'TouchBar Server' and quit it by clicking on the 'x' on the top left. Also, quit 'Control Strip'.

 

There is also a shortcut to perform these tasks from the terminal.

Copy & paste:

sudo pkill TouchBarServer

 

Refresh the Control Strip in Touch Bar, copy & paste:

killall ControlStrip

 

This immediately stopped the flickering for me. ""
