    Lock the Rotation in Landscape mode?


    Now I want to lock my rotation in landscape mode but the button is greyed out unless it is in portrait mode. Does anybody know how to force it into Locked Landscape.
    I have a HP Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G1

    Hello mate,

    Double check to make sure rotation lock is turned off, and then see if you are able to change the display orientation to "Landscape". Afterwards, you can turn on rotation lock if wanted to prevent it from changing again.

    When the button is greyed out, is it docked or undocked? (if applicable)

    So this is a 2in1 laptop, it does not detach from the keyboard. If I turn it on it's side "Portrait mode" the feature is then available. You can then Lock it in portrait mode. NOT WHAT I WANT! Even in tablet mode it does the same.

    Are you able to get to landscape orientation, and then turn on screen rotation lock?
