HP Envy x360 Screen Rotation Windows 11

[Heathy65]

I have a brand new Envy x360 supplied with W11.  I had the expectation that the screen would autorotate when in tent/tablet mode but it does not.  Also the rotation lock in the settings is greyed-out. 

Any thoughts comments appreciated.

Curious that HP should suggest fixes that don't work

Windows 11 does not support screen rotation - I believe it is a feature that Microsoft do not think is used

I bought my HP Envy with Windows 10 and upgraded to 11 when it came out I uninstalled it when I realised screen rotate was not an option

The only option I am aware of is to downgrade to Windows 11 if you can with a new machine

Why have HP not fixed this?

Why are they shipping laptops with software failure? 

Why have they "disabled" the main distinguishing feature of the laptops?
