Windows 10: Rotating the screen

Supposedly in Win10 [as in Win7] I could rotate my screen with ctrl+alt+arrow key--but it doesn't work. I know I could change my display settings; but can I do this with a shortcut?

Hi Brandon,

There are several reasons why the screen of your netbook is not rotating. One common reason is the auto rotation feature is locked, you can check it by following these steps:

• On your keyboard, press Windows + A.
• Click Expand.
• Click Rotation lock, and make sure it is turned off.
• Test your netbook if it's properly rotating.

Keep us updated.

Regards.

• Click Apply and then OK.
