If your PC’s screen is sideways or upside down, it can be frustrating to use. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to fix this issue.

Here’s how to rotate your PC’s screen or fix a sideways screen:

  1. Right-click on your desktop and select “Display settings” (or “Screen resolution” in older versions of Windows).
  2. In the “Display settings” window, scroll down to the “Orientation” section.
  3. Click on the dropdown menu under “Orientation” and select the desired option: “Landscape”, “Portrait”, “Landscape (flipped)”, or “Portrait (flipped)”.
  4. If your screen is sideways or upside down, select the appropriate option to rotate it back to the correct orientation.
  5. Click on “Apply” to save your changes.

If your screen does not change orientation after selecting an option in the “Orientation” dropdown menu, your graphics card driver may need to be updated. You can check for driver updates by going to the manufacturer’s website and downloading the latest driver for your graphics card.

Alternatively, if you have an Intel graphics card, you can try pressing the “Ctrl + Alt + Arrow keys” to rotate your screen. This shortcut may not work on all systems, but it’s worth a try if you’re having trouble rotating your screen through the Display settings menu.
