Check Display Rotation Settings
Misconfigured settings often cause rotation glitches. Access the display panel directly to verify and adjust options.
- Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Alt + Arrow key (Up, Down, Left, Right) for instant rotation; test all directions if orientation is incorrect.
- System Settings: Right-click desktop > select Display Settings > under Orientation, choose Landscape, Portrait, or other modes.
Update or Reinstall Graphics Drivers
Outdated or corrupted drivers disrupt rotation functions. A driver refresh typically resolves this.
- Quick Update: Open Device Manager via Start menu > expand Display Adapters > right-click driver > select Update Driver > Search automatically for updates.
- Clean Reinstall: If issues persist, choose Uninstall Device > Restart Windows to reinstall fresh drivers; avoid interrupts during the process.
Perform Basic System Checks
Simple reboots or configuration resets can clear temporary faults without advanced tools.
- Reboot Immediately: Restart the system to clear minor software conflicts affecting rotation sensors.
- Monitor Compatibility: Ensure external displays support rotation; access monitor OSD settings to verify hardware-level adjustments.
