Unable to change modes

lolsomes101

Hi, ive recently come across a problem in which im unable to access the 3 other modes (display, tent and pad). It simply goes as i try to set up my laptop as a tent to have it display my music whilst i use my desktop. However when flipping it over the mode does not change and sits there upside down, while still in notebook mode. Ive attempted to set it into pad, yet it also does not work. I'm still able to access the panel to change the themes and such (if that helps)
Ive gone into screen resolution to see if auto rotate was on and it was ticked. I havent gone into any settings that im aware of that can affect this apart from the option of screen orientation, but as stated before i only saw to confirm it and did not change any of the settings in there.
Is there maybe somehow a setting i may of pressed that may of mucked it up?
Ive tried the basic, turning it off and on, restarting, placing it on a table and letting it rest there a couple minutes then attempting flip it.
I dont want to do a system restore or factory reset but if it comes to that, then so be it.
But im worried if that doesnt work. what then?
P.s This is a Acer Aspire R14 that is only 3 weeks old (prior 3 weeks there was no problems with me changing the modes)

lolsomes101,

 

It sounds like there is some software that is causing the issue since it was working fine for three weeks. You can attempt a system restore to when it worked to see if that resolves it.

 

By chance, did you upgrade to Windows 10 three weeks ago? I ask in reference to this article about the auto rotate feature.
