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.
