Hide Courses from unenrolled students

I've seen that this question has been posted a few times in the past, but discussions are old and I found no definitive solution.

As the subject says, I want to create a course which can be seen only by those students I manually enroll. The best method I found is to create a hidden category and then allow students individually to see hidden categories and hidden courses. The problem is that students can only access the course through their profile (they don't see this in the courses page). Is there a better method to do this? I'm using version 3.7+

Thank you!

Thanks for your response but I don't think this would solve the situation. I want a course to be visible only to the students that are enrolled in that particular course (students that I enroll manually) and not to anybody else participating in other courses, whether they are signed in or not.

Vs: Hide Courses from unenrolled students

I have also been looking this same thing and cannot find proper solution. My goal is that every single course would be completely hidden from every user/student (not course creators and above) who is not enrolled into the course by manual or cohort sync enrolment. I have found some small workaround solution to hide courses here and there but students can still find all the courses relatively easy. For example all the courses can still be seen in category page. Why form 5 student should even find any courses meant to form 1 students, or any other courses in that matter since students have nothing to do with course enrolments. We enrol them by their classes using cohort sync.
And another problem which comes up because of this is that when student goes to course page which he is not enrolled in, he can still see all the participants in the course. Again, why form 5 student should see who are studying in form 1 Math course.
I am more than happy to receive solutions for these problems if someone have answers.
