Windows 10: Screen rotation not available after reinstalling windows.

So I just purchased a used Acer Switch 5. It was working perfect but I wanted to install a fresh copy of windows. So I created a bootable drive and installed. Now it works perfect like a PC, but when I remove the keyboard and try to use like tablet, it wont auto rotate. The option in the settings for auto rotate isn't even there. The only way for me to rotate is using display orientation in display settings. Which is a pain, Anyone have any solutions?Thank you

:)

 

screen rotation

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.

 

Auto rotate and g force


Really needed to list more system specs and information on this issue.So this is assuming you have this and this is the issue.

Why does my screen not rotate?


The auto rotation lock feature is turned on by default in Windows 10. Use the following steps to turn off this feature.

1. Place the tablet into Pad/Tablet mode.
2. Click the Start
   
   menu and select Settings.
3. Click System.
4. Click Display.
5. Scroll down and toggle Lock rotation of this display to OFF.

 

Auto screen rotation

Thanks for following up. Next step that I can suggest is to check for updates on your drivers, particularly with the
sensor and processor. The Gyroscope and Accelerometer sensors are the ones responsible for screen rotation, therefore updating, reinstalling or rollback can help fix the issue. Check out
