If you need to make a screen rotation (Windows 7), hot keys will become an indispensable assistant. However, they do not always work - it depends on the manufacturer of the video card. In this case, returning the desktop to the previous view is a bit more complicated.

Go to "Control Panel" and open "Screen Resolution". The settings window appears. In the item "Orientation" four variants of turn are offered.

• Landscape - 0 °;
• Portrait - 270 °;
• Landscape (inverted) - 180 °;
• Portrait (inverted) - 90 °.

After selecting the orientation of the image, a window opens where you will be prompted to refuse changes by default.

In the window that appears, click on the "Control Panel" tab. In the drop-down menu "Rotate", select the appropriate value. If you want to change other parameters, go to the display settings. Here you can specify the resolution, aspect ratio, depth and color quality.

How to turn off rotate through hot keys

So, if you made an unnecessary rotation of the screen, the hot keys of Windows 7 will return the desktop to its normal state. But what if the function constantly works just because of these buttons? For example, the user just learns quick combinations, or the children like to play with the keyboard. Or maybe she sometimes lays on a cat. Then it's easier to disable this key combination.

Call the context menu on the desktop. In the "Graphics Options", find the "Key Combination". Disable this feature. If there is no such item (depending on the model of the video card), do the same procedure in the driver settings. Go to the "Device Control Panel" and tick the appropriate action. Now the hotkeys of Windows 7 can not be rotated.

The buttons will not rotate the screen, and you will not have to access the video card settings in a very convenient way.
