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.

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