Spectre X360 Convertible
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I am using HP Spectre X360 Convertible, Model#: 15-ch011nr.

There are two issues with my laptop currently, as stated in the subject:

(1) It does not automatically detect the screen fold and does not change to tablet mode unless I change it from action center menu.

I've made sure the options in "Tablet Mode" is set to "Use the appropriate mode for my hardware" and "Don't ask me and always switch" for the two drop down menus. Also, I've selected "on" for both of the radio scale switches.

Please let me know if I can further troubleshoot this issue, find out what may be the problem and resolve it.

 

(2) When I manually change it to the tablet mode, it will not auto-rotate. The action center has the rotation lock option greyed.

I've tried doing Windows + R > regedit > Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation > Enable =1, LastOrientation=0, SensorPresent=1, and SlateEnable=1 > restart.

When I do this, the computer returns the "Enable" value to "0" and the rotation lock option is still greyed.

 

I do not see any notifications/issues from the device manager window either.

I've also tried downloading the SensorExplorer from Windows app store, which did sense the gyroscope and detected the screen rotation.

From this we know the computer can sense the rotation sensor and knows the sensor orientation, but cannot make the screen rotate for some reason.

 

Please let me know if I can do anything to solve these issues.

Welcome to HP Community

 

I have gone through your Post and I appreciate all your efforts and expertise in troubleshooting this issue

 

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

 

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

 

  1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

    Click Updates in the My notebook pane

  2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

     Updates list in HP Support Center

  3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

  4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

  5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

 

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

 

Keep me posted how it goes

 

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

Thanks for the suggestions; I downloaded the HPSA and installed all updates available, then made sure that my Windows was also up to date.

Unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue; the previous issues still persist.

 

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

 

Thanks.

It seems like neither of new user account nor the reset was able to resolve the issue that I have.

 

Then should I assume this is a hardware issue?
