    I have a Lenovo Flex 5/14 that won't rotate display automatically


    I was told the same laptop on Win 10 Home never had any issues with auto rotation? It's very annoying to have to manually selection the desired rotation: Portrait, Tent or normal landscape view every time to use a different mode. What's the use having a 2 in 1 laptop that doesn't rotate? I was told by a guy in the store if I upgrade to PRO version it might resolve, but at $199 CAN I'd rather just swap this laptop for another brand or Lenovo model...

    :)

  2. Auto Screen Rotation on Lenovo Flex 2 14

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding. I followed steps suggested by you but this is the end result. There is no 'Allow the screen to auto rotate'
    option on the screen as you see in the screenshot.

    Plus, as you asked for, my laptop model number is Lenovo Flex 2-14 (20404).

    Kindly resolve this issue asap. It is so irritating to have a facility and not using it cuz of some windows issue.

    best,

    Nikhil
