Spectre X360 Screen rotation

[indeegoyal]

Hi, I recently bought spectre X360 with windows 10, but the screen rotation is not working in tent and tablet mode.

I have been trying to get a solution for this in display settings but Lock rotation of this display is ON and disabled. Therefore I cant even change it.

Please let me know how to enable screen rotation.

I have the exact same issue.  Upgraded my HP Spectre x360 to Windows 10, and now tent mode doesn't work.

Figured out a solution: Win + R -> type 'regedit' and enter

Registry editor will open up.

Goto 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. 

Note: The lock rotation button in display settings will still be disabled, not sure why.

Let me know if this helps.

I had this same issue after upgrading to windows 10. THANK YOU for your soulution.  I had to change the value to "1", but when I restarted it worked.  The lock rotation of this display  option is still grayed out, but at least it works!

Not Solved  - I have autorotation enabled in the the registry,  switch is greyed out and does not rotate

I tried this on an x360 at Best Buy -- the option is indeed greyed out.  Flipping from laptop to/from tablet worked fine, as did turning 180 degrees in tablet mode.  However, rotating 90 degrees to a portrait/vertical orientation did not.

Is this laptop supposed to work in a portrait orientation?  Has anyone actually observed it working this way?

I went ahead and purchased the high-end Spectre x360 yesterday.  I verified two things:

(1) The latest Windows 10 settings have corrected the auto-rotation lock setting.  It is no longer greyed out and is functional.

(2) Auto-rotation does indeed work for vertical/portrait orientation of the machine.

Try a reboot, it should work.

I bought this laptop about 3 weeks ago. When running windows 8.1 the screen did rotate into portrait mode when turned, but only when the laptop was in the tablet formfactor. As long as the keyboard was still on, it would only flip 180 and not got into portrait mode. 

Now that i am on win 10 i have the same issue as the OP. I applied the registry setting and the screen does rotate, but it does it in laptop and tablet mode (i am speaking of the physical mode, not the win 10 tablet mode). I dont like that it does it in laptop mode, but its better than nothing. I would like to see an official fix that also ungreyed the option as well.

If I were you, I would restore the registry setting to whatever it was initially, and then apply all updates (Windows and HP) available.   Then reboot, and try again.  The latest updates should fix the issue.  Also, make sure that you have the tablet mode switch to automatic.  Otherwise it asks you every time you flip it.
