Model: Acer R7-371T-52JR
Hey everybody,
yes, I read several threads about workarounds for not working screen rotation. I used this while ago, when the setting item was greyed out and it worked.
Now, after the anniversary update (I guess), there is no such option in settings any more. I can rotate the screen myself manually, but nothing that indicates auto-rotation.
I already clean installed W10, all drivers are up to date.
What can I do, to have my screen auto rotate again?
PS. Auto-brightness is gone, too.
Thanks so much!
FAQ & Answers
First things first, though you've likely already checked. Is rotation lock on?
you mean the option in display settings which was originally greyed out. yea that one isnt even there any more.
Actually I meant the one you get by swiping in from the right, but it might be the same one.
swiping from the right? where and what?
On Windows 10 with touchscreen, touching and swiping from the right edge of your screen gives you a menu showing the Action Center notifications and a bunch of buttons that allow you to do things like turning auto rotate on and off.
thats of course, sth i already checked. again: no option to set "auto rotation". nowhere.
The Rotation Lock key is grayed out on my Acer Aspire R7-371T, using Windows 10, Version 10.0.14393 Build 14393. After performing a Windows Update I discovered this thread and have found this is a wide spread problem. I went to the Acer Support website and reinstalled the VGA Driver and this did not solve my problem. The Rotation Lock key is still grayed out & not available. Should I have reinstalled another driver from the Acer Support website and if so which one? Any help would be appreciated.
I will give this a try later on this evening & will let you know if this works. Thanks.
