MacBook Pro dock and menu bar quit unexpectedly

I just got a new brand new MacBook Pro 13 inch (Intel). I am facing this issue where the dock and the menu bar quits unexpectedly every 15 mins or so and starts back again. I tried deleting the plist file for the dock, ran first aid on the disk but nothing worked. Any idea what might be causing it? Any possible fixes for the issue?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Reinstall the macOS:

The macOS may be misconfigured somehow. So, reinstall the macOS.


Nothing would be deleted. It's just that items that have become corrupted or deleted, would be replaced or reinstalled back to where they should be. Go Here: How to reinstall macOS from macOS Recovery - Apple Support.


Important: Be certain to create a backup of your Mac prior to all of this. That way, you can have something to restore from the Mac from, should anything go wrong with the reinstall. Once reinstalled, see if all is complete.
