AdGuard can't be opened after clicking on Hide from menu bar icon

[rpc31]

Devide MacOs Monterey

As per https://www.reddit.com/r/Adguard/comments/vdfal6/menu_bar_icon_macos_monterey/

When hiding AdGuard from the menu-bar, it becomes impossible later to access the preferences. Any clue of what’s wrong?

Steps to reproduce

1. tick the option "hide from menubar"
2. try to access adguard again

Have you tried to open AdGuard from the Applications folder?

@rpc31 @trenbe-gaemi Could you record a short video with opening AdGuard via Applications folder or Launchpad?

This issue has been closed due to no response. You can open it again anytime if needed.

Here a video that shows it. As soon as I untick the preferences, the Adguard app disappears from the menubar and becomes unaccessible then. The only way for me to get it back is to uninstall and then re-install it. I tried to reproduce the bug with Adguard being the only app launched on the computer too and the result is there same, so it doesn't seem to be a conflict with another app.

@rpc31 Do you have any programs that improve control over your menu bar items such as Bartender?

@Aydinv13 I do (for the video), but results are the same when I uninstall them all.
