After a recent Windows 10 update my Pavillion 360 lost its autorotate function, the sleep function disappeared and the screen was distorted (unreadable text, irregular shapes & lines). I think the problem is related to the graphics driver. I went to the HP site and installed the recommended graphic driver listed for this laptop. This restored the sleep & the auto rotate but the screen was still messed up. I went into the settings and disabled the driver. What I have now is just a laptop without the special functions I bought it for.
Has anyone else figured out the solution to these problems. I would appreciate your help. Surely someone else had this happen to them.

Thanks for your response. I have a question. If there was a problem with the bios wouldn't the display be distored all the time. The display is fine when I disable the graphics driver. My problems started just after a Windows update. I think it may have replaced the proper driver with one Windows selected. I have tried 2 different drivers that HP has recommended for this computer in the past (20,19,15,4364, 21.20.16.4627). The most recent recommended & installed driver is 21.20.16.4821.
I ran the computer diagnostics program and it says the bios is OK. I am a little timid about messing with the bios because I could brick the computer. It does run and I can rotate the screen manually. I do miss the auto rotate & sleep functions but I guess I will have live without them. I assume the computer originally had a driver for the ghaphics installed.
