Windows 10: Power Options to Tray on a Desktop PC

Hi. Does anyone know if it is possible to get the power icon back into the tray on a desktop PC? Also, failing that, is anyone aware of a script or scripts that can be created that would allow me to toggle between different power options? As an example of what I am looking for see this link (no longer useful but it is what I am looking for):

Create a Shortcut or Hotkey to Switch Power Plans

Thank you.

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,
