Updated MonitorControl to the latest version (if applicable)

Describe the bug

In the newest version of macOS Tahoe 26.0, when restarting the computer or quitting MonitorControl then reopening, the menu icon is visible even if the "always hide" menu icon option is selected. A temporary fix is to change the menu icon option to something else and then back to “always hide”.

I just noticed macOS Tahoe has a new feature where you can hide app menu bar icons in system settings:

I will use this for now.

@georgeyu26 - just checked, it seems to work fine. I was trying 4.3.3 (you are running an older app version)

agreed, works fine for me BUT in some apps it indeed needs the check box in sys prefs
