Issue/Question
My screen is not rotating when I want it to, or rotating when I don't want it to. How do I change the Auto-Rotate setting?
Environment
Cause
If your device is designed to rotate the display automatically as you turn it, what you see on the screen will be always be right-side up.
Resolution
- Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, or select the Action Center notification icon in the taskbar.
- If the Rotation Lock tile is highlighted, auto-rotation is locked and the screen will not rotate.
- Tap or click Rotation Lock to unlock auto-rotation, enabling the display to rotate as you turn the device.
Note: If Rotation Lock is grayed out, you may have to remove attached peripherals, such as a keyboard.
