How to minimize applications to system tray instead of taskbar?

Question

I am trying to find a way to minimize an app into the system tray instead of it taking up space on the taskbar.

Back in the day, there was PowerMenu app which added Minimize to Tray to menu items right next to Move/Size/Minimize/Maximize. Unfortunately that doesn't work with Windows 10 anymore.

I've also tried RBTray which appears to only work with explorer windows.

Is there a way to minimize applications to the system tray?

Solution

The app RBtray works well for explorer windows. It does not work with the Whatsapp Desktop version. After installing, it allows you to minimize almost any window to the taskbar instead of the system tray.
