VBS for opening the Windows 10 task view

Question

I have an Elan touchpad on my notebook. Sadly the driver does not support the new "task view" feature, only executing external programs.

I already found out: it's not possible to send the WIN key via vbs and also this solution suggested

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.WindowSwitcher

does not work anymore. Same goes with the rundll32 solution.

I DON'T want to install 3rd party thingies.
So, is there solution to this?

Well, this should just be an addition. To make it more MAC stylish. — quadronom, Jan 23 '16 at 13:16
I don't use a Mac so I have no idea what you want to achieve. use the default shortcut combination and it will work for all Win10 PCs that you use — magicandre1981, Jan 24 '16 at 15:26
My keyboard has the Win key on the right side, so I need both hands for the shortcut. Thats why I would love to show the task view via a touchpad gesture. — quadronom, Jan 24 '16 at 18:19

If you include () after windowswitcher it worked for me. On 7 it worked fine without, but I suppose 10 is a bit more picky:

Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
objShell.WindowSwitcher()
