Receiving and responding to an alert

The alarm arrives in a full-screen size on the computer screen. The screen contains an alarm message with text content and an image if one is attached to the message.

You can reply to the message with either OK or NOK. Apart from making an alarm and answering OK / NOK, another communication is not possible through this Win10 application.
