I have a Surface Pro, and I know that I can manually turn the Rotation Lock on/off from the Display Settings of the device, or adjust the settings from the Windows Registry manually or programmatically:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation

However, if I edit the Windows Registry programmatically, it doesn't take effect until I reboot the system.

Is there an underlying Win32 API that allows the adjustment of these settings programmatically and take effect immediately?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
