Enabling Auto-Rotate: Asus Monitor Settings Guide

If you want your Asus monitor to auto-rotate, you may need to download and install a specific driver. Check the manual or install disk for your monitor model to see if this is required. For Windows 10, you can also enable auto-rotate by ensuring that the auto-rotation is enabled in your Windows settings. To do this, click the Start icon on the taskbar, select Settings, then Display, and make sure the Rotation lock function is set to Off.

How to enable auto-rotate on an Asus ZenPad

The screen on the Asus ZenPad auto-rotates when you tilt it. This feature can be enabled or disabled as desired.

To enable auto-rotate on your Asus ZenPad, follow these steps:

• Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings menu.
• Locate and tap the "Auto-rotate" icon.
• When the "Auto-rotate" icon is lit, it indicates that the feature is turned on and active.

It is important to note that the "Auto-rotate" icon may appear in a lighter shade when it is turned off. Enabling auto-rotate is convenient for viewing content in different orientations, but it can also consume more battery power.

Additionally, if you wish to disable auto-rotate at any time, simply follow the same steps and tap the "Auto-rotate" icon again to turn it off. This can help conserve battery energy when needed.

Troubleshooting auto-rotate on an Asus laptop

If your Asus laptop is not auto-rotating when you tilt the screen, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and fix the problem.

Firstly, check for updates and restart your device. If that doesn't work, try the following:

• Disconnect peripherals: If you're using a 2-in-1 device, accessories such as a detachable keyboard or dock can sometimes cause screen rotation problems. Disconnect any peripherals and change the orientation of the device to see if it rotates automatically.
• Check screen rotation settings: Make sure you haven't accidentally turned on the rotation lock option. You can turn it off by opening the Action Center (using the Windows key + A shortcut), clicking the Expand button, and then clicking the Rotation lock to turn it off.
• Run the troubleshooter: If the screen still won't rotate, you can use the Sensors Troubleshooter to fix the problem. Download the SensorTroubleshooter from Microsoft, double-click on the SensorDiagnosticTablet.diagcab file, and follow the prompts to scan and fix common problems with the sensors on your computer.
• Update the motion sensor driver: Although rare, the rotation problem could be caused by a driver issue. You can check online for steps on how to update a device driver, or use Device Manager to update the driver under "Sensor I/O devices" or "Sensors."

If you're still having issues with auto-rotate, you may need to try more advanced troubleshooting techniques, such as editing the Registry (be careful, as this can cause damage to your installation if done incorrectly).

For example, one user with an Asus Q324UAK laptop running Windows 10 had success by going into the Device Manager and disabling the AMD sensor fusion hub under System Devices.

If you want to return to the standard landscape orientation, simply select Standard from the Rotation options.

Troubleshooting:

If your Asus monitor is not automatically rotating, you may need to take a few additional steps. First, check your user manual or installation disk for any relevant information. You may need to download and install a specific driver to enable auto-rotate.

Additionally, if you are using a Windows operating system, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Ensure auto-rotation is enabled in your Windows settings.
• Update your BIOS, Windows packages, and drivers to the latest version.
• Enable and reinstall drivers in Device Manager.
• Restore your system from a restore point.

By following these steps, you should be able to enable auto-rotate on your Mac Asus monitor and troubleshoot any issues that may arise.

Disabling auto-rotate on an Asus laptop

If you are using an Asus ZenPad, you can disable auto-rotate by swiping down from the top of the screen to bring up the Quick Settings menu. From there, simply tap the "Auto-rotate" icon. If the icon is lit, auto-rotate is turned on. Tap it once to turn it off—it will be a lighter shade when it is disabled.

For the Asus ROG Flow X13, the solution is a little different. One user on Reddit reported that they were able to disable auto-rotate by disabling the AMD sensor fusion hub in the Device Manager under System Devices. Another user reported that they could not find the Fusion Hub, but they uninstalled the AMD UMDF sensor, which seemed to be the same as the hub, and that solved the problem.

If you are using a Windows operating system, you can disable auto-rotate by following these steps:

• Click the [Start] icon on the taskbar, then select [Settings].
• Select [System], then select [Display].
• On Scale & Layout, make sure the Rotation lock function is [Off]. If you would like to turn off auto-rotate, set the Rotation lock to [On].

Additionally, if you are experiencing screen rotation problems, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Update and confirm BIOS/Windows packages/drivers with the latest version in your PC.
• Enable and reinstall drivers in Device Manager.
• Restore the system from a restore point.
