I am aware of one method to put a mute button link on the desktop of windows 10, but is there a simple way to run this link twice within a time period? Would it be simple to make a script to launch the shortcut twice?

I would use an AutoHotkey script like:
^!m::
Send {Volume_Mute}
Sleep, 600000
Send {Volume_Mute}
return
When you use the hotkeys: ctrl+alt+m this script will "push the mute button" (even if you don't have a physical one), wait 10 minutes (600000 miliseconds) and then "push the button" again to unmute

This could be done by making a bat file that utilizes the program nircmd. A bat file could be made by using textedit, entering the following lines, and changing the file type to .bat
C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\shortuts\mute.lnk
timeout /t 30 /nobreak
C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\shortuts\mute.lnk
The disadvantage to this is that the windows command prompt opens in front of other programs, and that this dat file cannot be moved to the shortcut bar.
