My Windows 8 tablet can't auto rotate anymore!! :/ HELP!!

[Billy95Tech]

Today i have found that my Windows 8 tablet(Acer Iconia W700/I5 Core) won't auto rotate anymore because when i swipe the right bar to get to the sceen(now called brightness) there is no unlock/lock option anymore and i have a switch on my Windows 8 tablet to turn auto rotate on and off and that switch does not work for some reason now and i gone into the display settings and there is no option for auto rotate and now it is stuck in landscape mode.

1st i can't do a hard reset on the tablet to default settings(again) and 2nd now i can't auto rotate my tablet because of the options are gone for some bizarre reason, it is sooo annoying!!!

I have never had this problem before on my Windows 8 tablet!!


Please can anyone help me how to get auto rotate back?? and What is going wrong with my Windows 8 tablet(Acer Iconia W700/I5 Core), Do i have a virus??

Upgrade to Windows 10?

Seriiusly, I'd have already done a full reset at this point or upgraded and saw if that fixed it.

Most are saying to update your graphics card driver to fix it.

You need the 12.10 version of VGA Driver not the 10.12.

The full name of the driver is:

12-10_vista_win7_win8_32_dd_ccc_whql.


And then from Acer Drivers web site you go and install:

1) Windows 7-32 bit -> Applications -> Device Control 1.01.3002

2) Windows 8-32 bit -> Drivers -> G Sensor Bosch Driver 1.0.0.5

AND ROTATIONS WORKS AGAIN LIKE BEFORE!

Note: If there is any comparability issue with the VGA Driver, find the CCC.EXE file, right click -> Properties, and make it in compatibility mode with Windows 8.
