The Rotation Lock feature in Windows 11 is a utility designed to control the screen orientation on devices equipped with accelerometer sensors (typically 2-in-1 convertibles and tablets). The feature functions as a software switch that disables the automatic reorientation of the display when the device's physical orientation changes. In its current implementation, the feature is stable, easily accessible, and integrates seamlessly with the Windows 11 UI design language.
Rotation Lock serves a specific purpose: preventing the screen from rotating between landscape and portrait modes. This is distinct from manual rotation, which forces a specific orientation; rather, it "locks" the current orientation in place.
