Touch bar not reacting to touch

Hi, I have Macbook M1 Pro 13inch (2020) and after upgrading to Ventura 13.4.1 touch bar is no longer responding to touch.


It is lighting up, changing icons when apps are switched but touch doesnt work.


Things that I have tried include:

  • Booting in safe mode
  • Running diagnostics (no issues found)
  • Killing TouchBarServer and ControlStrip via Activity Monitor/Terminal 
  • Draining the battery and restarting
  • Changing the touch bar settings
  • Deleting plist files


I am out of ideas and looking for some additional info.

rebooting & a Safeboot is the best you can do for resetting, cache clearing on the M1/M2
