How Do I Change Direction Orientation?

You can change the orientation of your screen display through your operating system's settings or, in some cases, with keyboard shortcuts.

Here's how to change your screen orientation in Windows:

Using Windows Display Settings

1. Right-click on your Desktop: This opens a context menu.
2. Select "Display Settings": This opens the display settings window.
3. Locate the "Orientation" dropdown menu: It's usually under the "Scale & layout" section.
4. Choose your desired orientation: Select from options like "Landscape," "Portrait," "Landscape (flipped)," or "Portrait (flipped)."
5. Click "Apply": Your screen will rotate.
6. Confirm the changes: A prompt will appear asking if you want to keep these display settings. Click "Keep changes" if you're satisfied. If not, revert to the previous settings by clicking "Revert."

Using Keyboard Shortcuts (if available)

Some computers and graphics cards allow you to change the screen orientation using keyboard shortcuts.

1. Try using the following key combinations:
   • Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow: Landscape
   • Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow: Portrait
   • Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow: Landscape (flipped)
   • Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow: Portrait (flipped)

Note: These shortcuts might not be enabled by default on all systems. If they don't work, check your graphics card control panel for options to enable them.

Troubleshooting

• If your screen is black or distorted after changing the orientation: Wait for the prompt to revert the changes. If you don't see the prompt, try restarting your computer.
• If you can't find the orientation settings: Make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date.
• If your screen keeps reverting to the wrong orientation: Check for any conflicting software or settings.
