Typically, not to mention every time, Intel graphics card drivers come standard with two hotkey combinations to rotate the displays connected to your graphics devices.

• Using the key combination "Ctrl + Alt + Arrow keys ": we combine the keys with the dates of our roof we can rotate the screen in the four main directions: 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. In this way we can put it in four different positions Using the key combination "Alt Gr + Ctrl + Address Dates": if the other method has not worked for us, it is possible that instead of touching "Alt" we should touch "Alt Gr" (to the right of the keyboard space). The functions will be the same as before.

On the screen that appears, we go to the "Rotate screen" section in the "Screen" menu . From here we can select in which angle we want to rotate the screen. Once the position is selected, click on "Apply" and the screen will rotate.

We now turn to AMD graphics card users. In this case we are facing a similar situation to the previous one. The first thing we will have to do is right click on the Desktop and select "Catalyst control center" which will be the control panel of our graphics card.

Next, we go to the "Preferences" tab and select the "Hot keys" or "Hot keys" option.

We will find a section that puts "Screen manager" in a drop-down menu. Here we can establish a key combination to rotate the swamp for any direction. We can configure, for example, the combinations seen in the Intel method, since they are not shortcuts applied to any Windows function.

For this to work we must check the box to enable hotkeys.
