Area(s) with issue?

Workspaces

Steps to reproduce

Captured 2 Edge windows overlapping slightly. Added CLI arguments. image

✔️ Expected Behavior

Opens 2 new Edge instances in the desired location. Foreground instance opened to youtube, one background instance opened to blank "New inprivate tab".

❌ Actual Behavior

One of the following combinations opens at random. a. opens as expected. Background instance is inprivate and is in expected location and size, foreground instance is in expected location and size and open to youtube. b. Background instance is not inprivate and shows default homepage but is in expected location and size, foreground instance is in expected location and size and open to youtube. c. Background instance is not inprivate and shows youtube but is in expected location and size, foreground instance is in expected location and size but inprivate.

Also if there are another non inprivate instances of Edge open, youtube opens in a tab of the last used instance. The inprivate instance opens in the correct location. If there is already and inprivate instance a new one is opened anyway.

Other Software

Microsoft Edge Version 128.0.2739.54 (Official build) (64-bit) and Version 128.0.2739.63 (Official build) (64-bit)

Currently, the workaround is to open each URL in a different browser.
