Windows 10: How to disable rotation lock?

I'm trying to enable rotation lock but the option is greyed out. Following solutions I tried were to restart as well as temporarily put the computer in portrait.

Screen rotation not working, rotation lock disabled

Thanks for the reply. I made the registry changed described in option 4. I'm not sure if that helped, it makes sense that s/b enabled in the registry for auto-rotation to work, but it seems like display rotation setting gets set to "locked" when the ymc service is running. If I restart it, when the service is trying stop, the rotation lock setting becomes enabled and I can change it. But, the moment service is running again, rotation lock is spontaneously turned on, and the control on the page to toggle this setting becomes grayed out/disabled, and I can't turn off rotation lock.

I've set the startup type for the ymc service to "manual". I guess I could disable it, but I'm not sure what that might do. I guess that service disables the keys when in tablet mode, not sure what else.

 

Disabling the "automatic rotation lock disabling"

Hi Glegsglaw,

If Rotation Lock is grayed out or missing on your device, sometimes you just need to rotate it to portrait mode.

Turn on portrait mode on your device

Open Settings App and go to System > Display.

Find Orientation and choose Portrait from the menu.

Your device should automatically switch to portrait mode.

If this won't work, please check this article for further suggested steps:
