Method 1: The Keyboard Shortcut (The Quickest Fix)

This method uses keyboard hotkeys to cycle through display orientations. Note: This feature is controlled by your computer's graphics driver (most commonly Intel® Graphics) and may not be enabled on all systems. If these shortcuts do not work, proceed to Method 2.

The key is to hold down Ctrl + Alt and then press one of the arrow keys.

  • Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow: Rotates the screen to the standard landscape orientation (0 degrees). This is the most common fix.
  • Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow: Flips the screen upside down (180 degrees).
  • Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow: Rotates the screen 90 degrees to the left.
  • Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow: Rotates the screen 90 degrees to the right.

Simply press Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow to return your screen to normal.
