Windows 10: Auto Rotate after 24H2 update

We have found that after the Windows 24H2 update, our laptops are now rotating by themselves without changing the position of the computer. Has this been noticed by others? Why would it change that on some of the computers and others not? I've heard that you can fix it by turning on the "lock rotation," and that fixes it, but I have also heard that it undoes that on others after you turn it on.

Hi Faizan,

Thank you for responding.

Do let us know the make and model of your device?

Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: Remove all the external devices connected to your Tablet., check for the auto-rotate option.

Step 2: Check the auto-rotation setting.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen and tap Settings. (If you're using a mouse, point to the top-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down and click
  Settings.)
• Tap or click Screen, and tap or click the screen icon above the brightness slider to unlock auto-rotation.

Note: The screen icon includes a padlock when auto-rotation is locked. When auto-rotation is locked, the screen won’t rotate when you change the orientation of Surface.

Hope it helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of this issue for further assistance.
