    I have gone to the help center to fix a problem when the agent sent me a go.microsoft.com link.


    So he sent me a scam link, i downloaded what was in there but I didn't run the app, a microsoft agent tried to scam me? Is this normal Or what? Am i in danger by downloading it but still not running the app? I deleted it after I really want to know if he was ACTUALLY trying to scam me, as I know go.microsoft.com links are scams. He also didn't use grammar, and always used this : smiley face with a space between it. I really need answers. Was the trying to scam me? Am i in danger?Sorry for the edit: He first told me to open and close Powershell to install Microsoft store My problem was tha

    desktop agent tray error message in windows 10

    I tried the following suggestion. When I got to step 4, the list provided no checkmarks to uncheck and the icon for Desktop Agent Tray was a checkmark in a yellow circle. nothing happened when I clicked on the yellow circle with the checkmark. the title
    on the list was Desktop Agent Tray(2) Clicking on the title opened a title beneath the Desktop Agent Tray (2) which did not have the (2)

    the publisher of both titles was CenturyLink Inc and the status for the entry with the (2) was enabled and the status of the other entry was blank. Changing the status to disabled did nothing. the Start up impact was listed as high. There was another
    entry under the two Desktop Agent Tray titles There was an icon then Dw20 with a high start up impact. No where was there a place to uncheck or delete. So far the box which lists the error disappears and there seems to be no problem. I just wonder why
    it is there,



    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

    Desktop Tray Agent is a program used by Qwest to update their installer when setting up DSL (Digital Subscribers Line) based connections to computers. I suggest you to follow the steps below and check for the status:

    • Press Windows key + R, type msconfig.
    • Go to Startup tab.
    • Click on Open Task Manager.
    • Uncheck Desktop Agent Tray from the list.
    • Click on Apply and OK.
