Here is a free software to hide running applications from taskbar, Alt+Tab view, and system tray. This software is known as “Hide-It“. It shows the list of all running applications like some browser, calculator, Notepad, etc., on a small box. Once you get the list, you can hide any application with just a single click.

Though there are many other application hider software already available, not all of them hide applications completely. This software is a better option to try in such cases. The application is hidden from system tray, Alt+Tab view mode, as well as the taskbar. You can also bring back any hidden application anytime.
