Besides hangfire, you could also use Background tasks with hosted services in ASP.NET Core

If you would like to run it at specific time, you could use:

public Task StartAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        while (!cancellationToken.IsCancellationRequested)
        {
            var currentTime = DateTime.UtcNow;

            //run background task at Monday 11:00:00
            if (currentTime.DayOfWeek == DayOfWeek.Monday && currentTime.Hour == 11 && currentTime.Minute == 0 && currentTime.Second == 0)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation(currentTime.ToString());
                DoWork();
            }

        }
   }

For consuming dbcontext in hosted service:

How should I inject a DbContext instance into an IHostedService?

For how to start and stop it manually:

If you are run on windows machine, you can use Windows Scheduled Task.
