Apologies for doing this here - but my laptop screen suddenly decided to display my screen upside down (I say suddenly, I'm sure I did something without meaning to but unsure what)- does anyone know what I press to rectify it? Or am I doomed to spend eternity with a cricked neck?

Any help gratefully received.

If you want to turn the screen upside down, press “Ctrl + Alt + down arrow”.

To turn the screen back to the default position, press “Ctrl + Alt + up arrow”.

To turn the screen on to the side, press “Ctrl + Alt + left/right arrow”.

Yep. And now you know how I'm not suggesting you can do it to other people or press Ctrl + Alt + i to fuck with their heads...

Thank you!! I even forgot about the whole concept of Google in my panic there!

All rectified!

We do that to people who leave their computers unlocked whilst away from their desks

Good to see it sorted so quickly.

It's a very common question I get from the PA's I support in IT

So, honestly, how many times a day do you actually say "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" on average?

It's amazing how many times a reboot can fix a problem
