Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP Arrow Keys(or one of the other Arrow Keys).

Also right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

    Thank you! I wasn't certain how I changed the screen orientation to begin with, it was't what I was trying to do. This helped tremendously!

    Thank you so very much for providing a quick fix for this perplexing issue. I was just responding to an email from an Amazon vendor (I checked the email address before responding) and my screen orientation suddenly went from horizontal to vertical. I was afraid I had introduced a virus or some other malicious bug into my laptop. This easy to find response was extremely appreciated. I feel like I've had a "Der!" moment and survived.
