Touch Bar keyboard brightness indicator not responding on MacBook Pro

On my MBP, when I want to increase or decrease the keyboard brightness, a little indicator in the top, right of the screen will not show the 'slide' increasing nor decreasing when I tap on the Touch Bar buttons. However, the screen indicator will show i.e. the slide moving when I want to increase or decrease the screen brightness... for example.


Thanks to anyone willing to help,

P.

Have you shut down and restarted the Machine more than once since you upgraded...?
