Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

[wditters]

Good thought, wditters.

Rotation works every time for me, but I wonder if it is because I went to the Screen Resolution dialog, toggled off the option "Allow the screen to auto-rotate", Apply, then toggled it back on, and Apply again. Try that.

Alas if it only were that simple. That option appears and disappears at the exact same times that rotation works/stops working.. It really feels like somehow the hardware sometimes is not picked up at boot. Reverting to W8.1 also reverts to rotation being 100% reliable... Strange...

What Display is showing when it appears or disappears? Mobile PC Display (as in the screenshot I posted above)?

Are these options new in W10?

That is not new - it is the "Share" options. These options are available on the keyboard (F6 key) and Charms (second from top), and are in the context of the Window or app with focus when Share is invoked.

Exactly.. The "allow screen to etc" also is missing whenever auto-rotation is not working... And it reappears when auto-rotation starts working again... For me that spells a flaky sensor driver...

Be sure to use Windows Update. A hardware driver update was installed on my machine yesterday (Friday, October 3). Maybe that was included...

Did you do a clean install or upgrade? I upgraded as recommend and everything is working OOB.

I upgraded as well, as recommended.. And when I revert to the original w8.1 the rotation behaviour is back to normal :-s

Were you using the updated Intel Driver prior to upgrade? Sorry, my last post came across as Snarky, that wasn't intended, I'm just attempting to narrow the difference. Also, I had one issue with the DisplayLink Driver after the upgrade, I was able to uninstall it but should have done it prior, I know better from the Windows 7 and Windows 8 Betas had the same issue.

No worries, I didn't take it as sparky. I Did use the updated Intel driver but Windows Update removed it via the September hardware update and brought it back to the supported version. Behaviour occurs with both the standard MS driver and the retail Intel driver.. I have no Displaylink software installed
