"Unless in Tablet Mode" not working

Under the 'Control' setting, selecting "Start button shows Start10 unless in tablet mode" does not work.

When selecting this option, the Windows 10 menu always appears - even in desktop mode.

Could you please fix in a later version? Many thanks!

This means your device does not have suitable drivers to report what mode it is in to Start10.

What hardware are you using?

I am using the Surface Pro 3.

Shouldn't Start10 simply query Windows to check if the 'Tablet Mode' setting is on or off? Does it need drivers?

Note, I've also tested this on other systems and it immediately assumes the system is in tablet mode. It has nothing to do with 'suitable drivers.' Can you please investigate for a later update?

Thanks. Love the app!
