If a one year old changed the orientation, which happens often. Ctrl, Alt,

and arrow key is usually the answer.

Some graphics cards come with utilities or an option to rotate your display.

Most likely to be found in the Display/Advanced option.

You may also be able to turn off Display rotation so the problem does not

happen again.

 

Click on Start/Control Panel/Display/Setting Tab, Advanced button or it

could be an

Icon in the control panel specifically for the Video Card you have.

 

The following may also work: CTRL+ALT+Up arrow or some similar key keyboard

combination for some but not all video cards.

After you fix it, you can turn off Hotkeys so it can't happen again.

There should be an icon in the Notification area that lets you change

the settings. If not, open Display Properties and look for the same

options there.

but not always. Not every graphic driver supports that key combination.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video

card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait

orientation. Your one-year-old accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some

arrow key.

 

Rotate it back using those keys.
