2. Navigate to Display Options: Look for a section related to display settings or rotation.
3. Enable or Create a Custom Shortcut: Check if rotation shortcuts are enabled. If not, you may be able to create a custom shortcut.
4. Assign a Keyboard Shortcut: Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a keyboard shortcut for display rotation.
5. Save and Apply: Save your changes and close the control panel.
6. Test the Shortcut: Use your assigned shortcut to rotate the display.

Alternative Methods for NVIDIA and AMD Graphics

If you have an NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, follow these steps:

• NVIDIA: Open the NVIDIA Control Panel, go to "Display," select "Rotate Display," and adjust settings as needed.
• AMD: Open AMD Radeon Settings, navigate to "Display," and look for rotation options.
