    Screen auto rotation Lenovo Yoga issue

    Lenovo Yoga c930

    Windows 10 Pro Version 1909 Build 18363.836

    My rotation lock became grayed out and the screen no longer automatically rotated, but after disabling YMC I was able to get the toggle button usable again. However now when I put my yoga in tent or tablet mode the screen doesn't auto rotate for the new
    device orientation. I'm still able to toggle on and off rotation screen lock; it's not grayed out... to get the screen to rotate I have to manually change the orientation is settings. I've been in the registry and everything looks okay. Does anyone know how
    to fix this?

    Screen auto rotation Lenovo Yoga issue

    I turned my system on today tilted my yoga to move it and the screen automatically rotated. So, here's a list of all the steps that I took in case anyone else is having this problem (I honestly have no idea what caused it to work again): When I noticed the
    issue the first thing that I did was restart the computer... I manually put the system into portrait mode; Tried using the system in tent mode; Turned on tablet mode.

    When those didn't work I went and updated the drivers under Display Adaptors; restarted the system (in between each update) Uninstalled the drivers under Display Adaptors (restarted the system for each driver). Updated and uninstalled the drivers in Sensors
    (again restarted between each)

    Went into Services Turned Sensor Monitoring to auto, made sure that Sensor Services was on Auto, Disabled YMC (which caused the Rotation Lock button to not be grayed out before),

    Went into the Registry Editor under AutoRotation made sure that everything sans LastOrientation was set to 1; added AutoRotation Key set it to 1.

    I ran the Lenovo Diagnostic Tool; Went in command prompt did a DISM scan, chkds scan, and sfc scan... gave up for the night as nothing was wrong in the scans and turned off my system.

    Windows 10, Lenovo Yoga, HP 24mh Monitor - Can't turn Auto Rotate off or on - Grayed out.

    No auto-rotation on Windows 10 [Lenovo Yoga 3-14]

    Hello!

    I'm having this problem since I installed Win10 on this machine. Before anybody would suggest anything I'd like to say that I've already done nearly everything what I found on the internet, so let's not dwell on things like turning off the auto-rotate-lock
    button because it's quite hilarious, I suppose.

    So here's the things I've done:

    1. Tried to update every driver I could using the official Lenovo's site for Yoga 3-14.

    2. I tried setting things in the register and in the services (setting things like sensors from manual to auto).

    3. Deleting, reinstalling and so on every device included in the device manager.

    4. Reinstalling the whole system several times and updating the system straight from Win8.1 to Win10 (Windows 8.1 worked fine - auto rotate, tablet mode and so on were working just out of the box).

    I can't find the solution and I'm trying to fix this thing for like weeks. Also I can mention that one of the Linux distros (Fedora) was working fine, including the auto-rotate - so it can't be the hardware. So as I mentioned - Win8.1 also was working fine.
    I really need help on this one - maybe I'm missing something, like some crucial update, driver maybe. The rotation works when I turn my screen upside down for example and use the rotation lock button several times - turning it on and off - then the screen
    rotates, but never by itself.
