I've checked all drivers. They're all installed. I found out that the GPIO-Laptop/Slate-Indicator driver is relevant to detect the tablet/laptop state. Is there any posibility to check this value?

Start8 Version 1.30 had the feature to open Start8 Menu unless in tablet mode. This feature worked well on Windwos 8. But in Window 8.1 this feature doesn't work anymore on my Sony Vaio Duo 11.

Could you please fix t
