@Smiles818 try this:

  • Go to Control Panel.
  • Choose Display.
  • Click on Change Display Settings.
  • Make sure that Allow the screen to auto-rotate is checked.

Solution 2 – Use Microsoft Sensor Diagnostics Tool to test your sensors

  • Download Microsoft Sensor Diagnostics Tool.
  • Start the tool and select the HID Sensor Collection: Inclinometer.
  • Pay attention to Data box since it displays number of tilt degrees.
  • Rotate your device and check if the values of degrees change
  • If the number of degrees is changing, the issue is related to software, but if values stay the same, it means that your sensors aren’t working, so you might want to send your tablet to a repair shop.
  • Before trying all of this remember to update your device using Windows Update since latest updates usually fix most software issues, so they might fix problems with auto rotation.

Solution 3: If the screen still does not rotate in tablet mode then please try the following steps:

  • Win + R -> type 'regedit' and hit Enter

  • Registry editor will open up.

  • Go to path -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation. Check the value of Enable file if it is 0 rotation will be OFF, if 1 rotation will be ON.

  • Restart and Auto rotation will work.
