OMG! My Windows Screen is Flipped! How to Right the Wrong Side Up!

Ever feel like your world is turned upside down? Sometimes, your Windows screen literally reflects that! A flipped screen can be disorienting, but don't panic. It's usually a simple fix.

**The Quick Fix: Keyboard Shortcut to the Rescue!**

Often, a rogue keyboard shortcut is to blame. Try these combinations (press Ctrl + Alt and then one of the arrow keys):

* `Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow`: Should return your screen to normal.
* `Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow`: Flips the screen upside down.
* `Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow`: Rotates the screen to the left.
* `Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow`: Rotates the screen to the right.

If that doesn't work, your graphics card settings might be the culprit. Right-click on your desktop, select 'Display settings' (or equivalent), and look for 'Display orientation'. Change it to 'Landscape'.

If the issue persists, consider updating your graphics drivers. A restart might also do the trick. With a few simple steps, you can quickly restore order to your screen and get back to work (or play!).
