    How to lock Auto Rotaition if option is greyed out in settings?


    I'm trying to lock Auto Rotation on my HP Pavilion x360 Convertible 14m-dh1xxx running Windows 10 64-bit and for some reason the option is greyed out in the settings. I tried going to the Action Center and I didn't see an option to lock Auto Rotation. I also tried updating the display drivers and they're all up to date and the option is still greyed out. I also tried going to the Registry Editor, going through Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation, setting the LastOrientation value to 0 and SensorPresent to 1. None of those methods worked. If someone could please help me lock Auto Rotation I would greatly appreciate it!👍

    I searched the forum for auto rotation and there were a lot of threads about it.

    It seems that weirdly enough the auto-rotation feature was disabled on its own for some reason. I appreciate the help!
