Solution for Auto-Rotate Not Working?

[RichBrownsDesk]

I've been using beta and "preview" software for years, and I know it's "use at your own risk." I'm perfectly happy right now testing out Windows 10 on my new Surface 3.....and I understand that you have to accept some bugs.

With that said, nothing says I can't try to fix bugs as I see them. When I'm on Win 10 instead of 8.1, my screen will not auto-rotate. It stays in landscape mode until I force it to rotate with the Intel Driver app. I was wondering if anyone else who has this issue has found a solution for it? If not, I'll hope for a solution in the next build.

You'll definitely want to submit that feedback though through the feedback app...

I'm running 10147 and i simply changed the toggle in the MS display settings, and it is auto-rotating just fine.

And by the way, how did you get 10147? I can't get any thing other than 10074.

I tried 10074 a bit back, and due to lack of drivers it was a complete pig. 10147 is a leaked build so you have to go and find a download for the ISO, and while it is certainly very buggy (it is a leak build after all) it is far superior to 10074 and so far, perfectly usable (having a little trouble getting MUI apps to run while in tablet mode though. Have to turn tablet mode off for them to display)

I simply changed this (in this screenshot it is greyed out as this is from my SP3 which is docked so screen cannot be rotated)

OK thanks, but I might wait and see if Microsoft releases a new build in the next couple of days.

10074 is what gets installed using the Insider site, BUT should also now be followed by 10130. Check your updates.

have MS fixed it now then? onlyn a week or two ago MS confirmed that there was an issue that resulted in it being uninstallable on the S3
