Windows 10: File explorer has rotated my portrait oriented raw photography files into landscape mode...

I uninstalled the updates and went back to the previous version and the portrait images are still rotated now. This was not the case before the update. My driver for the display is up to date as well and I even went into Microsoft photos and tried a repair and then reset of that app to no avail.

RAW Files-Portrait Orientation shown in Landscape Orientation with no rotation option.

I have seen this question over and over again with no real answer provided.

For RAW files (not jpegs) pictures taken in the portrait orientation are showing up in the landscape orientation in the windows photo viewer. In the past you could just highlight these photos, right click and select rotate left to put them i the correct
rotation. This option is not available when you right click. When you open a photo and try to use the rotate arrow at the top it says this is not an option for RAW files.

You can enter the "edit and create" and rotate the picture. This is tremendously time consuming when you just want to preview 200 pictures quickly to pick the best ones to edit.

This is such a simple function that used to work fine in Windows 7. I can't believe this issue has not been fixed.

PLEASE HELP!!!

 

Photos App auto rotating portrait RAW files to landscape

Photos App auto rotating portrait RAW files

Lately whenever I open a raw file (CR2) in Photos it flips it from portrait to landscape and I can't flip it back. It I try to use the rotate feature, it says this can't be applied to RAW files. I've reset the app, uninstalled it etc and nothing works.

Has anyone seen this?

The Frustrating part is it initially recognises the photo as Portrait but then applies a preset and rotates the file. (Landscape images do not rotate)

Current OS Windows 11 Version 21H2 (OS Build 22000.434)

Photos Version 2021.21120.8011.0

Previously this was a problem here:

Windows 10 (1809, build 17763.404)

Photos version 2019.19021.18010.0

 

Microsoft Photo App auto rotating raw image files from portrait to landscape

Since the latest update of the Photo App (2019.19021.18010.0) raw image files which are originally in portrait format are automatically rotated to landscape view and the manual rotation is disabled. This only applies to raw images and not to formats such
as .jpg or .png.

The issue is only present in the view mode of the app while the image appears correctly in the editing mode.

Is there a way of disabling set auto rotation or a work around of stopping the app from doing that?
