Touchbar options completely disappeared!

One day my touch bar went completely blank. I tried restarting my MacBook pro but it did not help so I tried reseting the touchbar through terminal by using the syntax skill "Touch Bar agent" and also skill ControlStrip but it just said "command not found". I tried to fix it by going to system preferences>keyboard and the touchbar options are completely gone!


Tried resetting SMC and PRAM also, but same issue.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

If resetting the SMC did not bring back to life you have a hardware issue.


No harm in repeating the SMC 2-3 times...
