Open Registry Editor

Press Windows + R, type regedit, press Enter.

Find the registry key that matches your default browser and make the necessary changes

Microsoft Edge

Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MSEdgeHTM\shell\open\command

Add the --incognito parameter to the value in (Default) after the path to the browser executable.

You should get something like this:
