Windows 10: Photo Rotation | Portriat orientation in photo and on monitor screen

I am photographing 8 x 11.5 documents using a copy stand.
I have the camera set for portrait orientation.
I have also have my monitor set in portrait orientation.
The photos only render in landscape.

The Windows Photo Viewer does not allow me to view the series in portrait.

I am looking for a simple and free app that will allow me to set the frame for flipping through the images in portrait without having to re-orientate them every frame. Read them like a reading book in other words.


I took a quick look at XnView and Vueprint. Both are pricey and way overkill for what I seek to do.

Any thoughts? Solutions?

PS. I thought to check the camera settings: they are fixed at 640 x 480 without any obvious way to change the aspect ratio at any resolution level. So it seems like software is the only way to get to where I want to go?

Auto Rotate in Photos App

Every time I open portrait oriented photos with the Photos app, it automatically rotates the photo to landscape. When I try to rotate it back to its original portrait orientation, it flips it upside down no matter how many times I try. I then attempt to
open the same photo with Windows Photo Viewer or FastStone Image Viewer and the programs are unable to rotate the photo at all. The only application that is then able to change the orientation of that same photo is the Photos app, however I run into the same
problem yet again. I now have numerous photos that are in the wrong orientation or flipped upside down with no way to rotate them back to normal. This happens with JPEGs, DNGs, CR2s, and just about any type of photo.

 

Auto Photo Rotation


W10 Hp 17" Envy Laptop.

Took some photos yesterday on my Panasonic camera, downloaded them via SDHC card but for some reason they are being auto rotated to 90deg from the vertical both in landscape and portrait. This is in viewer and my photo editing programme.

Even when looking at them in explorer when they are the correct orientation when I try to insert them in MS Word they are are at 90degs. In Word it doesn't seem to matter if I have rotated them in viewer or not they still end up 'on their side'.

It's doing my head in.

Can any one help please?

 

wrong rotated photos in the photo frame

When I display the photos on the photo frame, they are often rotated in the wrong way. These photos I take using the phone, then transfer them to the computer and then to the photo frame. The problem is Windows automatically adjusts the photo orientation
