my screen is sideways how do i turn it back

Sideways Screen:

Try pressing Ctrl + Alt + UP Arrow Key, or try Ctrl + Alt + and a different Arrow Key.

If that does not work: Right-click on empty Desktop > Graphics Options > Rotation.

Cheers.

    This information was so helpful, it took me forever to figure to come here and asked that question. It was by grace that it happen becasue I was really getting upset. My grandson and my nephew was playing with my PC and I came to this Page Sidewides. What got me is that Windows don't have anything on this in its system help setup.

     Thanks.

    None of this works. Cannot access any options. No right click menu, just my desktop sideways, including my mouse works backwards.
