Display has turned 180 degrees and i don't know how to turn it upright again

The Walnut chest makes a good point, and was voted helpful and proposed as one potential answer-

If the Ctrl-Alt option does not work or there is no rotation setting with graphic card software, you can also adjust this in display settings to implement this.

Right click, select personalize and then "display". Choose adjust resolution. If you are currently in Landscape mode, which is the most common setting- choose "Landscape, flipped". If you are in portrail mode, choose "portrait, flipped". This will flip the display 180 degrees.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video

card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait

orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and

some arrow key.

Rotate it back using those keys.

Hold down the Ctrl & Alt keys and use the arrow keys to rotate it back.

Depending on your computer's graphics card, these may be alternative options.

Right click on the Desktop | Graphic Options | Rotation.

Right click on the Desktop | Screen Resolution | Orientation.

Ctrl + alt + arrow keys do not rotate the screen. Instead the up and down arrows scroll the browser window, while right and left do nothing. What am I missing?
