    Monitor display changed from landscape to portrait


    My cat jumped on my keyboard causing the monitor display to rotate 90 degrees anti-clockwise so it is now like portrait lying on its side. How do I reverse this?

    :)

    Changed 2nd monitor orientation to portrait. Cannot change it back to landscape.

    Using windows 10 on a desktop PC with dual monitors.

    Navigated to the display options.

    Changed monitor#2 to portrait. Worked normally.

    Later (same day) tried to change monitor#2 back to landscape, both screen resolution AND orientation menus are now greyed out ONLY for monitor #2 (the monitor switched into portrait view).

    Drivers are 100% up to date.

    Hotkeys (ctrl, alt, up/down/sideways) do not do anything to either of my monitors orientations.

    How can I enable the resolution and orientation dropdowns again?

    Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Desktop, Start, & personalization / PC
