Your screen is rotated and won't turn back to normal
Your display orientation setting got changed. We'll open the display settings and rotate it back to the right orientation — it takes 30 seconds.
Windows lets you rotate your display for tablets or when you're using your monitor in a different position. Your orientation setting got changed to sideways or upside down. We'll fix it by setting the display back to landscape (normal) orientation.
