Windows 10: rotation lock

How do I set the rotation lock off? currently, when I flip my computer around it does not automatically rotated the view on my display on the screen of my computer. I want it to automatically rotate and it does not. Currently when I access: settings, display, the option rotation lock is greyed out and set to the 'off' setting. I want to be able to automatically rotate the display screen as I rotate my device and it is not doing that now. I can manually change it every time by going into settings, ….. but I don't want to have to do that every time in order for it to switch to landscape, landscape (flipped), portrait, portrait (flipped). Please help me!
