Fix "New window" and "New InPrivate window" for multiple profiles
As it is right now if you have multiple Edge profiles configured and open and right-click on the taskbar icon for a profile and select "New window" or "New InPrivate window" it opens the new window based on the Settings > Profiles > Multiple profile preferences > Default profile for external links setting. This is a confusing experience as the new window may open under a completely different profile. Creating new windows from the taskbar jump list shouldn't follow that setting, it should just create the new window under the profile that was right-clicked.

monrobot I'm unable to repro this issue. When I right click and open an inprivate window from my taskbar icon, it opens under the profile whose icon I right clicked (by design and according to your preferred behavior).
What you're running into is probably a bug. Could you go to the taskbar icon's properties and ensure the target has a --profile-directory="Profile 1" appended to it?
