VB Script causes computer to crash on sleep

Vote count: 0

I was looking for a way to minimize all windows to the taskbar after the computer becomes idle, effectively showing the desktop. I tried sending win+d to the machine on idle, but found that if all windows were already minimized, they would reappear

I found the following VB script online and created a scheduled task to execute it once the computer becomes idle. The script worked like a charm but now, whenever I put the computer into sleep mode / close the lid on my laptop, the computer crashes.

Dim Shell : Set Shell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") : Shell.MinimizeAll

I am not familiar with VB scripts (worked a bit with VBA so the syntax is familiar), but after disabling the scheduled task, I found the issue to be resolved. Is there something in this script that would cause the computer to crash on sleep?
