Hello I just purchased an Envy 3 days ago.
The auto-rotate feature worked perfectly over the weekend (even after being in deep sleep) until today when I took it to uni.
When I first took it out of my bag it was in portrait mode, then it quicky rotated to a normal orientation, after this the auto-rotate switch was greyed out.
I restarted it which fixed it for the time being (it started rotating again), until I put it to sleep and put it back in my bag (PADDED LAPTOP BAG), when I took it back out the auto-rotate switch was still functional (not greyed out) but I couldn't get the auto-rotate to work after that.
Why is it being like this? Did I somehow break it already?
Tried:
-restarting
-windows update
-additional windows update
-updates from hp support assistant
-driver updates (all up to date)
Solved! Go to Solution.

Fixed via HP Support:
1. Go to Device Manager>Human Interface Devices>HID-compliant touch screen
2. Uninstall HID-compliant touch screen (it will be reinstalled don't worry)
3. Restart
It's rotated and switched in/out of tablet mode reliably ever since.

Now the rotation lock is greyed out permanently and restarts don't fix it anymore. The rotation worked fine this morning, I really don't know what's wrong with it all of a sudden.
