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?

Thanks for the reply Avi Vaid. I have three profiles setup, they all have a --profile-directory="Profile X" (X is numbers 1, 3 or 4, depending on the profile). These are the steps you can use to repro this problem.
- Every profile has the Settings > Profiles > Multiple profile preferences > Default profile for external links set to "Last used (default)"
- Open Edge with one of your profiles
- Do some work in that profile, open a new tab or something
- Right-click on the pinned Edge icon for a different profile and select "New InPrivate window"
- The InPrivate window opens under the profile you were working in in step 3 not the profile you just right-clicked on
