How to Start Google Chrome in Incognito Mode By Default on Windows 10

Many Chrome users prefer browsing in the private mode, that is, using the Incognito mode because it does not save the browsing history. It also doesn’t save any of the cookies, any website data or for that matter any information that you browse, except the downloads and the bookmarks.
