MacBook Pro 16" Touch Bar stopped working.

The touch bar on my MacBook pro has suddenly stopped working. After reading a few posts, I went to the keyboard settings and it's not even showing up in the menu as an option. I am on Big Sur OS. I've tried restarting and it didn't work. I've also tried force quitting the touch bar server.

We understand from your post that the Touch Bar on your MacBook Pro has stopped working. In a situation like this resetting both the SMC and NVRAM may help. These articles will provide you with steps on how to reset both the SMC and NVRAM:
