Welcome to the forum
I added "auto rotate" to the title to make it a little more visible and understood.
I have a Transformer Book TP300L, about 2 months old.
Used to be when I flipped the laptop around, the keyboard and mouse used to be disabled automatically and the screen would auto-rotate. Now, when I flip it, nothing happens. The keyboard still works and buttons get pushed, or the mouse gets moved while I'm holding it. It no longer auto-rotates.
When I try swiping from the right, hitting settings, then screen and try to unlock the screen rotation - holding the mouse over the lock icon it says "Autorotation is unavailable because you're using your pc as a laptop" even though I've already flipped the computer and am using it as a tablet.

It's not just the auto-rotate, but the keyboard doesn't turn off like it's supposed to. It's like the computer doesn't recognize that I've flipped it. And in the last 24 hours since I posted above, the two-finger-scroll has also stopped working. I went into Asus Smart Gesture and turned it off and back on again. I tried turning the laptop off and on again. But it still won't scroll with two fingers.

This problem still has not been solved. If I flip the computer into tent or tablet mode, the keyboard and mousepad do not disable. All updates are current.

Hi guys and girls
Not sure how much help this is. This worked for me. I have a TP300LD bought in the Philipines (cheaper there!) Great machine. I've been running Windows 10 for some weeks now without problems but today, somewhere between uninstalling McAfee, installing Office 365, and uninstalling Open Office, I realised my touchpad and keyboard wasn't locking anymore on flipping the screen over. My desktop background was also making weird little spots, like a grid?
Tried all kinds of tricks but in the end: Control Panel - Programs - Uninstall a program - select Asus Fliplock - select "repair" in stead of uninstall and the rest flowed naturally.
Live long and prosper!
Hi I am new here...
This work for me:
I downloaded this driver (ASUSFlipLockSetup_NoGMR.msi)
From driverscollection dot com (just search on google the driver name)
Then delete or uninstall your flip lock program.
Then unzip and install: ASUSFlipLockSetup_NoGMR.msi
That's all is supposed to work immediately.
