Create a Windows alarm using VBA

Hey, I have a question regarding the possibility of creating a reminder in windows using Excel VBA that can trigger even if the excel is not working. Something like the Windows 10 alarm? I've searched on google for some ideas but they all require the excel to be opened at the time of the alarm. This is not suited for the required needs.

The simplest requirement would be to have a userform to insert the time and date and a mini message.

Can someone point me in the right direction or share a piece of using code?

Thank you for your time

You can't. You need Excel open for code to run. You could create an outlook reminder though

alexgoaga,
I ran into issues with reminders in Outlook not being flexible enough to do what I wanted.
I used Windows Task Scheduler to create my reminder and it worked perfectly. Not sure if it will do what you need but give it a look.

After a while a hitting my head with the desk i came with an idea :

Using show a popup/message box from a Windows batch file i could go creating a vbs with a message?

Something like the following saved in MessageBox.vbs:

but i will have to call it from cmd like this, and I have no actual base idea how to create this in a task Scheduler which you would call like:
cscript MessageBox.vbs "This will be shown in a popup."
