See if the information below will resolve the issue.

Go to Control Panel> Display>Change Display Settings and then make sure that the "Allow the screen to auto-rotate" is selected. 

Also, try the steps below as well.

Place the tablet into Pad/Tablet mode.
Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
Click System.
Click Display.
Scroll down and toggle Lock rotation of this display to OFF.

davebender,

If you rotate the screen 360 degrees, click on notification/action center icon lower right corner. Is the 'rotation lock' now enabled? If not turn it on.

1. Go to control panel, appearance and personalization, change display settings (left column), click box "allow screen to auto rotate"

2. Underneath "allow screen to auto rotate" there is highlighted "project to a second screen". Click that and select the "pc screen only" option.

Try these settings as well if needed.

Open the Control Panel (icons view), and click/tap on the Display icon.

A) Click/tap on the Change display settings.

Jesse,

This does not all appear at all: ..."'rotation lock' now enabled?"

The icon and box in the so-called "Action Center," the toggle in Display settings, the " Unlock Screen AutoRotation" - nothing is there. Nada. Failure to launch, Houston.

I've had Dells before, including an XP 13, and Inspiron 15, and am, honestly, really, really disappointed in this situation, and thinking of going back to Asus.

Thanks for your attention.

davebender,

Reinstall the Intel chipset drivers and they will install the sensor drivers for the computer. Once you install the chipset package, all of the controls for screen rotation reappear, but they were still grayed out and when the display is tilted at an angle beyond 200–225 degrees, the keyboard and touch pad will be disabled. The same point may be used to re-enable the input devices when transitioning back to notebook mode from tablet mode.

The controls for screen rotation now gray out when you have the laptop open in the "normal" position, that being with the keyboard on your work surface and the screen tilted back as you would normally use any other laptop. Once you either place the laptop on tent orientation or with the keyboard completely folded back, those controls "un-gray" themselves and can then be change.

Thank you Jesse L, after all the instruction the ration finally worked for me :_)

Thanks Jesse and davebeder,

I had the same issue with my Inspiron 13 5368 2-in-1, and installing the drivers again solved the issue.

Jesse

same problem here, but in a 7368 service tag ; the thing is for a failure during windows was booting, i reinstalled windows with the recovery tools, an I notice there was exactly the same problem as Dave had, i installed all the drivers from the Dell website but the laptop its w/the same problem.

Thanks.

I have the same problem.
reinstalling chipset driver - does not help?
Is it hardware problem?
I dont have any sensors in device manager
