I'd like the computer to beep on the hour without having to install an entire third party software just for this. 

I tried using Task Scheduler for this, following the steps outlined [here](https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-use-task-scheduler-to-create-a-repeating-alarm-during-the-day-in-windows-7), but when I set the task to run a program so I can play a chime, like this...

```
wmplayer.exe %windir%\media\ding.wav

```

...It doesn't work (nothing happens), even though it works on the Run dialog. When I explicitly click "Run now" (it's first set to run on a scheduled time), also nothing happens. And when I set it to display a message or send an email instead, it displays an error which apparently means the feature's been [deprecated](http://www.askvg.com/fix-cant-create-tasks-to-display-messages-in-windows-8-task-scheduler/) (and the method on that website didn't work either).

So, is there any way to achieve this natively on Windows 10? When I used a Mac, a few years ago, all you had to do was check an option telling the system clock to chime on the hour. I don't get why this VERY SIMPLE AND USEFUL THING needs to be this difficult.
