@Pittsburgh-Ed, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP laptop screen rotation option is greyed out and the screen won't rotate back after using notebook style, follow the steps below to resolve the issue:

Check Screen Rotation Settings:

• Right-click on the desktop and select "Display settings."
• Scroll down to the "Orientation" setting. If it's greyed out, proceed with the next steps.

Enable Rotation Lock:

• Press the Windows key + A to open the Action Center.
• Look for the "Rotation Lock" tile and ensure it's turned off. If the tile isn't visible, you may need to expand the Action Center to see all options.

Update or Roll Back Drivers:

• Press the Windows key + X and select "Device Manager."
• Expand the "Sensors" or "Sensor I/O" category.
• Right-click on the sensor driver and select "Update driver." Follow the prompts to update to the latest driver.
• If the issue persists, try rolling back the driver to a previous version by selecting "Properties" in the right-click menu, navigating to the "Driver" tab, and clicking "Roll Back Driver."

Registry Fix:

• Press the Windows key + R, type regedit, and press Enter.
• Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ AutoRotation.
• Ensure that the "Enable" value is set to 1. If it isn't, right-click and select "Modify," then change the value to 1.

Perform System Restore:

• If the problem started recently, you can restore your system to a previous state. Open "Control Panel," go to "System and Security," then "System" and select "System Protection."
• Click "System Restore" and follow the prompts to restore your system to a point before the issue began.

I hope this helps.
