There is a solution,but it needs pywin32,and it's made by Python 2. In addition, this is a Chinese website. You may need Google translation. https://segmentfault.com/q/1010000008579491

@NewbieXvwu You don't really need pywin32. You need pystray... and some threading🤔

pip install pystray

Here is simple solution, you might try limit amount of threads running on this function with ThreadPoolExecutor

from pystray import Icon, Menu, MenuItem
from threading import Thread
from PIL import Image
...
def run_tray():
    icon = Image.open('path\to\icon')
    menu = Menu(MenuItem('Show', show_function), MenuItem('Quit', quit_function))
    Icon('Name of tray', icon, 'Title of tray', menu).run()

Thread(target=run_tray).start()
root.mainloop()

Or you could just simply use .run_detached()

from pystray import Icon, Menu, MenuItem
from PIL import Image
...
def run_tray():
    icon = Image.open('path\to\icon')
    menu = Menu(MenuItem('Show', show_function), MenuItem('Quit', quit_function))
    Icon('Name of tray', icon, 'Title of tray', menu).run_detached()
root.mainloop()
