The instructions floating around are to place the --incognito switch (single – works fine for me) in your desktop shortcut. But sometimes you may be in an application like Tweek Deck, etc that links to webpages. These pages don’t launch in incognito if you only fix your desktop shortcut. Here is how to do both. Google Chrome is set as the default browser in this case.

Select the File Type URL:HyperText Transfer Protocol and choose Advanced
Select action open and edit.
Just like before add the switch to the end like this:

chrome.exe" --incognito -- "%1"
