Windows 10: Display orientation changes while in sleep mode.

I currently have 2 monitors; the secondary display is set to portrait orientation and the main display is landscape. When reactivated from sleep mode the secondary display orientation has changed to portrait flipped. Anything I can do to prevent this, other than disabling the sleep mode?
