I’ve a 13-inch 2017 MacBook Professional (Intel Core i5) with a Contact Bar. I’ve seen, that it sometimes disappears, after which after a number of days re-appears.
It’s not a {hardware} drawback, as killing the contact bar server is affecting the Contact Bar: The buttons come again in a ‘grayed out’ colouring, however they aren’t affected by contact sensory. Uncertain if the next data could also be related: My behaviour, once I go off, is to shut the lid of the pc in a single day. I do not go away my laptop powered at 100% battery and by no means let it run right down to 0%. (If the Contact Bar has its’ personal battery, it ought to all the time be powered.)
One other remark I’ve made is, that it appears to be more often than not browser (Chrome) – or extra particularly YouTube associated, however it additionally as soon as occurred when I didn’t have the browser open.
Often the contact bar re-appears the following day. The query is, why does this occur, and what choices do I’ve on stopping it, with out sacrificing high quality of life (for instance, with out all the time turning off Mac)?
