You can do that with a Timer and a Task, see second example here: c# - How to run BackgroundService on a timer in ASP.NET Core 2.1 - Stack Overflow[^]
The question is about ASP.NET Core, but the example is almost plain C# code.

As Pallini suggested, an alternative would be to use the Task Scheduler Library: A New Task Scheduler Class Library for .NET[^]
