Here is how to rotate screen in Windows 11 –

Way-1: Using Keyboard Shortcuts

Rotate the screen using the following keyboard shortcuts –

A. Ctrl + Alt + Up arrow – Landscape mode

B. Ctrl + Alt + Left arrow – Portrait mode

C. Ctrl + Alt + Right arrow – Flipped landscape

D. Ctrl + Alt + Down arrow – Flipped portrait

After each change, you will get a confirmation dialog saying – “Keep these display settings?” as in the following screenshot. Click on Keep changes.

If this method and the shortcut keys are not working then directly follow Ways-2 and then use the shortcuts.

2. Select System.
3. Turn on Enable System hotkeys using the Toggle.
4. In the right pane, you can see Enabling hotkeys. Click on Go to: Windows Sign-in option from that section.
5. On the Settings app, Turn on the option – Automatically save my restartable apps and restart them when I sign back in.
6. Close Settings app and Intel Graphics Command Center.
7. Use the keyboard shortcuts given in the Way-1 to rotate screen.
