Open Internet Explorer in Private Mode with Selenium

So I've been trying to open IE in Private using selenium (C#), this is the closest i've come so far:



        InternetExplorerOptions op = new InternetExplorerOptions();
op.PageLoadStrategy = PageLoadStrategy.Normal;
op.IgnoreZoomLevel = true;
op.InitialBrowserUrl = "https://entry.wgrintra.net/schadenwv/servlet/main";
op.ForceCreateProcessApi = true;
op.BrowserCommandLineArguments = "-private";
IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(op);


The problem here is, after 60 seconds of opening the browser (correctly in private) the driver times out (last step doesn't finish).



I've looked around a lot, most is just using Capabilities which are not useful anymore.



(I had to add a value to the registry to be able to forcecreate the process api)

          • The DesiredCapabilities are deprecated (v3.141.0 SeleniumWebdriver) and there is no Force_Create_Process or IE_Switches. Also the IWebDriver doesn't take any capabilities as input.
