    Windows 10 Screen Auto Rotation Not Working/Option is not visible or available

    Yes, I have this problem too - I've posted in the main thread that this week my auto-rotate has stopped working and the auto-rotate icon in the action centre has disappeared, with or without the cover, in tablet mode or not. Seems to be related to March
    13, 2018—KB4088776 (OS Build 16299.309) (Surface Pro).

    Surface Book - Windows 10 : Auto screen rotation missing

    Hello -

    I also had this same problem (locked in landscape mode, no Rotate Lock/Unlock button, Surface wouldn't auto-rotate). Multiple restarts alone (with or without the keyboard) did not fix it. I was able to restore the Rotation Lock icon (and auto-rotate) with
    the following steps:

    • Remove the surface keyboard (while on)
    • Manually set the display to portrait (Settings --> System --> Display --> Orientaton (portrait)
    • Restarted the Surface
    After my device restarted, the Rotation Lock icon was back and my Surface would auto-rotate again.

    This has only happened to me once and this was the only fix that worked for me (other options mentioned in the forums didn't work). I hope that helps!

    Surface pro 3 auto rotate not working after Windows 10 Creator Update

    I noticed that after the Windows 10 Creator Update, the auto-rotate feature on my Surface Pro 3 stopped working when I switched into tablet mode. When I have the type cover attached, the rotation lock button is greyed out (which is no big deal), but when
    I remove the type cover and switch to tablet mode, the rotation lock button becomes active. I've double checked to make sure rotation lock is off, and the screen still won't auto-rotate when the surface is in tablet mode. I've restarted the surface and ran
    the troubleshooter suggested by the microsoft website, with no luck. Any help resolving this issue would be appreciated, thanks.
