Screen no longer auto rotates & rotation lock feature in settings is grayed out in Spin SP 313-51N
Tinkerer
Screen no longer auto rotates and the rotation lock feature in the settings is grayed out so I cannot toggle it. How do I fix this?

OK, open the display settings so you can see the grayed out rotation lock option, then change to tent mode so the screen is still in landscape but held upside down from normal. Does the rotation lock option appear again and did the screen rotate to reversed landscape?

Your question is fine but what is your Acer product model number, there are allot of Acer products with screen rotation.

Try using Display settings to manually rotate to portrait mode then recheck. The grayed-out rotation was apparently something MS did with an update, and forcing a change is enough to get it back again. Good luck and hope this helps you out. Otherwise reinstall Win-11 23H2 as that should reinstate the rotation for your SP313-51N.

What happens when you open it into tablet mode?

I'm not sure, I believe my ability to toggle tablet mode was removed when I installed windows 11
