This is not a question, just posting what I had to do when your auto rotation stops working. I believe it must have been a windows update that caused this because I had to go into Regedit to turn this back on with a reboot.

 

OPEN REGEDIT AND GO TO HKey_Local_Machine/ SOFTWARE/ POLICIES/ MICROSOFT/ WINDOWS/ LOCATIONSAND SENSORS/ AND SET Disablesensors from 1 TO 0 close editor and restart

 

After the reboot and windows is loaded, rotate your laptop 90 degrees and it should start auto rotating again.

 

All I have to say, thank you Microsoft for wasting hours of my life in frustation that I can never get back. Hopefully this knowledge doc I created will save hours in other people's lives
