Display Auto-rotation Broken After Anniversary Update

[DBNP]

Since the latest Anniversary Update from Microsoft the display on my Spectre x2 tablet no longer auto-rotates when I rotate my tablet.

In settings->system->display there is no longer a checkbox for autorotation. Nothing shows up at all.

I called customer support and they had me go through the registry to ensure the Autorotate option was enabled: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation

The technician from HP customer support tried to find a solution using remote desktop but after about 30 minutes told me there was no solution, that I was the first customer to have this issue since the update, and HP will get back to me once they have resolved the problem.

Is anyone else having an issue with auto-rotation since the Windows 10 Anniversary Update?

Yes. I'm having a problem with my HP Envy, the screen doesn't rotate when I'm in tablet mode.

I am having the same issue on my Envy x360. Is there still no solution?

I am also having an issue on my Ency x360. Just performed a reset and installed the 'AMD Virtual Buttons Driver'. The lock rotation button appears and a message saying automatic rotation is enabled when I bend the screen back, but it doesn't actually rotate when I rotate the screen.

Thank you for joining HP Forums.}
I'll be glad to help you 🙂

As I understand the display Auto-rotation Broken After Anniversary Update,

Please attempt the 3 methods listed below:

First Method: 

With the keyboard connected, press Ctrl + Alt + [directional key]

The directional key could be the up arrow, down arrow, left arrow, or right arrow depending on your preference.

(This keyboard shortcut/command should work in most versions of Windows on all PCs.)

Second Method:

Find an empty space on the desktop.

Either tap and hold with your finger, or right-click blank space on desktop. Go to Graphics Options > Rotation > select desired rotation angle.

Third Method:

Start Menu > Settings > System > Display. Click the box under Orientation > make a selection.

This third method may prove most useful without a keyboard while multi-tasking. The window with the display settings can be kept open or minimized, and you can always bring it back up to quickly change the orientation at will.
