Who's the genius who thought disabling the rotation lock on a convertible PC was a good idea? 9.9 :D

Question

So, I'm using my convertible laptop in laptop mode while in bed, and I decide to lay on my side and the computer lies sideways with me, and poof, the screen rotates. I sit it upright again and try and disable the rotation lock and it won't let me because the button has been disabled. If I lay it on its side, it is enabled again, but that is not the orientation that I want it to be locked in. So I have to go into tablet landscape mode, lock it in that position and then go back into laptop mode just to keep the screen from rotating in laptop mode. Not intuitive or user friendly at all.

I guess that lying in bed wasn't considered as a use case? If the screen can rotate in both tablet and laptop mode, then the rotation lock should never be disabled. Is there a way to disable the disabling of the rotation lock button? It's super annoying.

Thanks.

Hi there,

I suspect it is a feature attached with auto-rotation and is universal you can try the feedback hub to raise this.
