TL;DR:

Using chrome.windows.create api to open incognito window crashes the NW.js framework.

-----------------

I am developing a VPN Client for a customer which requires support for all Windows versions including Windows XP. 
For Windows XP I am using SDK version 0.14.7,
For other Windows versions I am using the current latest build - 0.54.1.

One of the capabilities is being able to open incognito window from the app. 
I saw that NW.js doesn't support this functionality but since the app lives under the Chrome Extension Context I am able to use "chrome.windows.create({url: 'https://www.google.com', incognito: true})".

The issue is while on version 0.14.7 the functionality works as expected, on the latest version the app crashes without any indicative error (You can see the video inside the github issue).

I tried to use a prior version but it also doesn't seem to work no matter what I do.
I am guessing that the integration with Chromium is broken on this part because I tried to use standalone chromium and it doesn't reproduce there. 

I would really love for some help with this issue.
Thank you in advance !
