  1. Screen Rotation Lock button greyed out - can't auto rotate screen on Lenovo x12 detachable


    From what I understand, the rotation lock is disabled on windows 11 when the keyboard is attached, by design. I want to know how to disable that function. It makes no sense at all to me why rotation lock would be enabled when the keyboard is attached, as the tablet will undoubtably be on a flat if it is being used to type. my concern is that I like to keep my keyboard attached in reverse so I can keep it with me, when using my device in tablet mode, I cannot freely rotate my tablet in this mode.This would be solved if the rotation lock was available all the time, in tablet, or keyboard mode

    :)

    Screen rotation not working, rotation lock disabled


    If you rotate the screen 360 degrees, click on notification/action center icon lower right corner. Is the 'rotation lock' now enabled? If so turn it on. Otherwise Lenovo probably need to look into this...

  3. Screen Rotation Lock button greyed out - can't auto rotate screen on Dell 2 in 1 laptop

    Since upgrading to Windows 11, my screen does not auto rotate when changing from the laptop to tablet on my Dell 2 in 1 laptop. The rotation lock button is greyed out and I have to flip my screen manually in settings. This is really frustrating having to do this every time. Is there a fix for this?

    Screen Rotation Lock button greyed out - can't auto rotate screen on Lenovo x12 detachable

    Screen rotation not working, rotation lock disabled


    To quote what I posted on the Lenovo forum, in case some fresh eyes over here spot something:

    I've got the same problem: "Lock rotation of this display" is greyed out.

    Sensor Data Service, Sensor Monitoring Service and Sensor Service are all running. I installed the Win8.1 x64 version 2.0.13.8211 of the Transition software. I even ran it a second time in repair mode.

    I've pressed the physical rotation-lock button on the sid of the computer to make sure that's not engaged.*

    Tablet Mode works in that the app icons on the taskbar disappear when I fold back the screen. It's just the rotation that won't work. And, the ymc service is running, too.

    *Apparently, when that rotation-lock button is pressed some on-screen indication is supposed to pop up, but on my system it doesn't. I can't recall the last time I pressed the button (if ever) when Win8.1 was installed, so I don't know if there was a pop-up then, or not.
