Windows 10: Portrait Screen Orientation Menu Limitations

I have recently rotated one of my two displays to portrait mode. The downside seems to be that Outlook is not set up to work properly in this orientation and I am not able to lock the folder pane to visible. When navigating to the "view" tab and selecting "folder pane" , "normal" is grayed out as an option. Unfortunately I am not able to select this option even when Outlook is open in my horizontal second screen. Is there a way to get around this or an alternate way to drag and drop emails into folders?

There's an option on Windows 10 to switch between landscape and portrait orientation. We recommend following these steps on how to switch the screen orientation from portrait to landscape:

• On Cortana search, type display settings.
• Choose Display settings from the list.
• Under Orientation, select on Landscape and click
  Apply.

Surface registry key to set screen orientation to Portrait

Hi Experts

How do I disable the autorotation and set the screen orientation to 'Portrait' on a Surface tablet? In the 'Screen Resolution' settings the orientation is set to 'Portrait' and the 'Allow the screen to auto-rotate' is de-selected. However after a reboot
the screen still auto-rotates (even thought the auto-rotate is still de-selected' and the screen is not in 'Portrait' mode if the Surface is placed in 'landscape'.

I have checked the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation and can see that the Enable DWORD value is set to 0. I can see that the value toggles if selecting or de-selecting the 'Allow the screen to auto-rotate'
option is changed.

Is there any registry key that will permanently disable the auto-rotate function and keep the screen orientation fixed to 'Portrait' - even after a restart?

• Right click on your desktop and select Display
  settings.
• Highlight the screen you want to change (if you have multiple monitors) and change
  Orientation between Landscape and Portrait.
• To flip the screen, select Landscape (flipped) or
