Device: OnePlus7, Android 10
**What happened**
* Device was rooted with October security patch updated, custom kernel installed and Magisk Manager hidden (to prevent root detection by an app). All working fine. No problem.
* Updated Magisk Manager to 8.0.3 successfully but it shows Magisk not installed
* But device is properly rooted and all rooted apps work fine.
* I can see the hidden Magisk Manager in app drawer but tapping it doesn't help. Nothing happens. It tries to open, shows Magisk logo and disappears.
* I can't access the Manager menu to see if I can fix something from there.
**What I tried**
* Flashed Magisk again from laptop. No use.
* Restored stock kernel from backup made by kernel manager app. No use.
* As suggested by Didgeridoohan's guide tried these
* Cleared data of Manager. Uninstalled and installed Magisk Manager. No luck.
* Uninstalled manager, installed canary manager and set channel to update to canary hoping that may help. Doesn't help.
Device still properly rooted
* Saw this [Github issue](https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues/2014) , Not applicable.
**Things to try**
* Flash Magisk uninstall zip and root again.
* Try manual patching of boot image and flash
* Dirty flash stock ROM - not possible because device is rooted and would result in boot loop.
* **Any other simpler option?**
