rotation lock is grayed out ( Disabled )

[kartik1112]

I am writing this after looking testing almost all the possible hacks, tricks and tweaks to solve this problem,

so recently I purchased this hp elite book 360 1030 G2 which was refurbished by authorized dealer from amazon it is well intact and in good condition except one that is this rotation lock button on windows is greyed out so i cant use it in tent or tablet mode with its full potential.

things that i have tried

1) Put it on portrait mode and see the button gets enabled -- didn't worked

2) keep the laptop in tent mode and see weather it is enabled on not  -- didn't worked

3) update all the drivers-- didn't worked

4) change the setting in registry -- didn't worked

    ( here I found some interesting thing when i was changing the 

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation

at this location when i was trying to set the Enable  at 1 and restarting my device surprisingly  it was getting back to zero after each restart )

5) In services changed the Sensor monitoring service to automatic-- didn't worked

6) Re install windows operating system -- didn't worked

I guess i have tried all of it and please let me know anything else that will help me out with this situation I will be very much great full for that 

thank you

@kartik1112 please try these steps:

Go to control panel

2. Go to Display

3. Go to Adjust Resolution

4. Be sure "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" is CHECKED.

Also, uninstall the keyboard in device manager and restart the computer.

Solution 1:

The keyboard in Windows 10 has an automatic detector to disable the keyboard and the trackpad as soon as it becomes a 'tablet'. To access it go to the following menu items:
Control panel (NOT SETTINGS) -> Keyboard (use icons) -> Keyboard Lock -> Auto-Lock the keyboard and touchpad (recommended)
You can use these settings to disable the keyboard in tablet mode.

Now check if it gets fixed. If it does not continue Steps from solution 2.

Solution 2:

Some of the users who had the similar issue have mentioned in some forums that the issue is fixed by adjusting the angle of the tablet. When the laptop is rotated sideways it attempts to switch to tablet mode, even when you have not adjusted the screen angle. The sensing is done by an orientation sensor in the base of the laptop, not in the hinges. So, to turn the keyboard back on and to go to laptop mode try tilting the whole laptop towards you slightly and check.

Now check if it gets fixed. If it does not continue Steps from solution 3.
