Hi @Nimesh26 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

If your auto-rotation feature is not working after installing Windows 10, here are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and restore the option:

1. Check Device Orientation Support:

• Ensure your laptop has an accelerometer or gyroscope. Some laptops may not support auto-rotation even if the feature is available in Windows.

2. Update Graphics and Sensor Drivers:

• Go to Device Manager (right-click the Start button and select it).
• Expand Display adapters and Sensors.
• Right-click on your graphics and sensor drivers and select Update driver. Choose the option to search automatically for updated driver software.

3. Install the Latest Windows Updates:

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and check for updates. Installing the latest updates can sometimes resolve driver issues.

4. Check Orientation Lock in Action Center:

• If the auto-rotation option is missing, you might need to enable it via Settings:
  • Go to Settings > System > Display.
  • Look for an option related to "Rotation lock." If it's there, make sure it's turned off.

5. Accessing Tablet Mode Settings:

• Go to Settings > System > Tablet.
• Under Tablet mode, check your settings. Sometimes toggling between Tablet mode and Desktop mode can refresh the auto-rotation feature.

6. Run the Hardware and Devices Troubleshooter:

• Open the Control Panel.
• Search for Troubleshooting and click on it.
• Click on Hardware and Sound, then select Hardware and Devices and run the troubleshooter.

7. Check System Settings:

• Open Windows Settings > System > About and ensure you have the correct version of Windows 10 installed (32-bit or 64-bit) based on your hardware.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
