On my HP Probook (non-touch screen) the display will randomly rotate. It does this on its own even when I'm not using it. Any suggestions on what it could be?

This worked for me on an HP laptop: askubuntu.com/a/1047331/4770 – Shnatsel Oct 30 '18 at 14:28

see elementaryos.stackexchange.com/a/17011/16438 disabling the service worked for me. – Jens Nov 21 '18 at 7:17
It's because of the accelerometer that HP puts in their laptops. Disable it and you'll be fine.
I am not familiar why but some people say that there is some sensor which do that. I manage to fix it using this line in terminal:
sudo mv /lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service /lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service_disabled
