Root loss using Magisk 17.2 and "Hide Magisk Manager" option #674

Description

Hi to all,
this morning I've experienced a root loss. I tried to use an app that requires root access (i.e. SD Maid), and I found that root pop-up was not popped up; instead, a toast notification appared to me, saying to me to reboot because root service was not responsive.

I tried to reboot, but I didn't have any success in recover root functionalities. I tried to re-install Magisk 17.2 from TWRP, but nor this try was successfull. I returned to previous version of Magisk (v. 17.1) in order to recover.

I remember that I tried to set "Hide Magisk Manager" three days ago, in order to have root obfuscation using Sky Go app (and the obfuscation worked as expected), but I didn't try to check that after that step I still have my root functionalities, so I don't know if two actions are connected or not.

I use an Asus Zenfone 2 (ASUS_Z00AD) with Android stock build 6.0.1,, on which I have Magisk installed, and Xposed v.89.3.
