MSEdge is not only a bit weird, it's really weird.

Works for me!
Here's a simple batch file.

@echo off
:: edgepvt.bat
%ComSpec% /c "start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8 bbwe!MicrosoftEdge -private"
exit

To further the steps above, you can create an "icon in the taskbar" for
that batch command above where you can get the icon from this location.
C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wek yb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe

The steps to create an "icon in the taskbar" are described here

There may be a better location for better Edge icons, particularly since
you likely want a "reverse" icon to show that Edge is in private mode.

If you know where that "reverse Edge icon" is, let me know!
