Upside Down Windows? How to Rotate Your Screen Back to Normal (and Why!)

Ever accidentally hit a key combination and suddenly your Windows screen is sideways, upside down, or just plain wonky? Don't panic! Rotating your Windows screen is easier than you think. This usually happens due to a stray keyboard shortcut (like Ctrl+Alt+Arrow keys).

Here's how to fix it:

* **Keyboard Shortcut (Fastest):** Try pressing `Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow`. This usually reverts the screen to its default orientation.
* **Display Settings (More Control):** Right-click on your desktop and select "Display settings." Look for a "Display orientation" dropdown menu. Choose "Landscape" (or your desired orientation) from the options.

Why would you want to rotate your screen intentionally? Some users, especially programmers or those working with long documents, find using "Portrait" orientation helpful on a secondary monitor. Experiment and see what works best for you! Now go forth and conquer your oddly oriented display!
