How to Reverse an Upside Down Computer Screen
Did this ever happen to you? For some reason (the cat? the kids?) your computer screen appears upside down! You can't read it well enough to even look for help unless you stand on your head. It's actually quite easy to fix it.
Did this ever happen to you? For some reason (the cat? the kids?) your computer screen appears upside down! You can't read it well enough to even look for help unless you stand on your head. It's actually quite easy to fix it. I'll confess, I found I'd done it to myself by leaning against the keyboard with my big ol' belly: the ctrl key, alt key and down arrow key must have all registered being pressed at the same time. I was in a panic! How could I even find help when I couldn't read the screen? I have a laptop, so I turned it upside down to find help. Be prepared, learn this before you need it.
Fix it fast. Hold down the CTRL key and the ALT key at the same time. While holding them down tap the UP ARROW key.
CTRL ALT UP-ARROW - normal screen orientation --notice that the arrow key points upwards, the way you want your screen to be.
Voila! Back to normal (it may take a few seconds, be patient.)
If you have a laptop, there may be times when you actually want to change the screen rotation.
CTRL ALT DOWN-ARROW -- 180 degrees, ie upside down from normal
CTRL ALT RIGHT-ARROW or CTRL ALT LEFT-ARROW -- 90 degrees each way, may be handy for some applications.
Note: If you shift 90 degrees, when you return to normal your desktop icons may be disordered.
Remember that the arrow key points in the direction of the top of the screen when you use this function.
