Windows 10: automatic screen rotation

I used to be able to put my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series laptop computer in the tent mode and the screen would automatically rotate. It quit doing that all of a sudden. How can I fix that? I know how to go into display and change setting... It used to do it automatically. Please help me. Thank you.

automatic screen rotation

Hi Michael,

Are you using a 2-in-1 device like the Surface Pro, accessories, such as a detachable keyboard or dock? If so, this can cause screen rotation problems.

To check if an accessory is causing rotation problems, do the following:

• Disconnect the keyboard, dock, or external display.
• Change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.

Also, if you're running a Surface device, I suggest that you run the
Sensors Troubleshooter to scan for problems and fix them automatically. In the
File Download dialog box, select Open, and follow the prompts.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Brandon,

There are several reasons why the screen of your netbook is not rotating. One common reason is the auto rotation feature is locked, you can check it by following these steps:

• On your keyboard, press Windows + A.
• Click Expand.
• Click Rotation lock, and make sure it is turned off.
• Test your netbook if it's properly rotating.

Keep us updated.

Regards.
