• Hiding with a hotkey. Privacy Hide activates the hiding of designated application windows using a user-configurable key combination. This function executes the action instantly, with no perceptible delay in system response.
• Target application list. The user specifies the executable file names of the programs that will be affected by the hiding function. This list is managed within the program's configuration interface.
• Addition by drag-and-drop. The drag-and-drop method allows adding an application to the target list. The user drags the application's window icon and drops it onto the Privacy Hide interface for registration.
• Full system hiding. A keyboard command toggles the visibility state of all active applications on the desktop. This action does not terminate processes, only modifies the visual property of their windows.
• Run at startup. Privacy Hide registers itself in the system to load during the Windows boot sequence. This setting ensures the program's availability without manual intervention after startup.
• Management from the tray. The icon in the notification area provides a context menu. From this menu, new applications are added to the list and access to the program's main options panel is gained.
• Hide tray icon. The configuration allows suppressing the display of the Privacy Hide icon in the notification area. The program remains active in the background without a visible graphical indicator.
• Hotkey customization. The user modifies the key combination that activates the hiding and showing functions. The assignment supports combinations that include modifier keys such as Ctrl, Alt, or Shift.
• Multilingual interface. The program includes localization files for 38 different languages. The interface language is determined by the operating system's regional settings or selected manually.
• Window restoration. The same key combination that hides the applications also restores their visibility. The state of each window (minimized, maximized, normal) is preserved during the hiding process.
• Process exclusion. The user can define exceptions within the application list. Processes specified in the exclusion list are not hidden when activating the full hide function.
• Activity log. Privacy Hide generates a log file that documents hiding and showing events. This log includes timestamps and identifiers of the affected processes.
• Silent operation mode. The program operates without showing confirmation dialogs or notifications during normal operations. All interactions are done through the configuration interface or the hotkey.
• System compatibility. The software operates on Windows versions from Windows 7 to Windows 11. Supported architecture includes 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
• Password protection. A security option restricts access to the main configuration panel. The user sets a password that is requested when attempting to modify the program's settings.

Development of Privacy Hide began in the year 2010. The program was created by SoftpCapps. The developers focused on creating a tool with a specific purpose for Windows environments. Privacy Hide is written in the C++ programming language.
