Hi,

Yesterday I updated my Macbook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020 to 14.4.1.

Ever since that update the brightness on my touch bar is so low I can berely see what's on there.

I've been researching online and some people have taken it back because it was a hardware issue but all posts I found are 2+ years old. Seems to not be exactly similar case for me since I got it since the software update.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

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

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

If no resolve try SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support to sort anomalies.
