How to disable rotation lock?

I'm trying to enable rotation lock but the option is greyed out. Following solutions I tried were to restart as well as temporarily put the computer in portrait.

@drmoonrock,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that you want to enable the rotation lock on your computer.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

In the convertible PCs, this occurs when your device is in laptop mode. For example, if you have a laptop with a 360-degree hinge, rotation lock will be grayed out when it’s in normal laptop mode. If you have a device with a removable screen, rotation lock will be grayed out while the screen is connected to keyboard. That’s because, in standard laptop mode, the screen will never automatically rotate.

When you transform your device into tablet mode—for example, by rotating its screen all the way back on a device with a 360-degree hinge, or disconnecting the screen from the keyboard—automatic rotation will be enabled and the Rotation Lock option will become available.

If Rotation Lock remains grayed out even while your device is in tablet mode and the screen is automatically rotating, try rebooting your PC.

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
