How do I set up a hotkey or shortcut to rotate my screen in Windows?
With my graphics card, this approach works:
Download Display (website is down as of 2020-10-11, mirrors here and here).
Extract the
Display.exe
to a location of your choice (e.g.,C:\Display.exe
).Use the
[right-click] -> New -> Shortcut
dialogue to create shortcuts for the desired orientations:C:\Display.exe /rotate:0 C:\Display.exe /rotate:90 C:\Display.exe /rotate:180 C:\Display.exe /rotate:270
(optional) In each shortcut's properties, you can specify a
Shortcut Key
.
For me a simple CTRL+ALT+ARROW KEY worked just fine. Way simpler than the script, downloading display.exe and etc.
If some people are still using this thread or searching for this at google, I have the PERFECT SOLUTION.
Download Display
Extract to C:\Display\ (or a folder of your choice)
Open cmd, and write in the path to display.exe - C:\Display\display.exe\ -listdevices (this will show you all of your screens, letting you choose which one to rotate)
Choose which device (screen) you would like to rotate by their index number.
Create a .bat file using notepad. (Open notepad, write the lines shown below, save as "all files" and write ".bat" after name of your choice)
Write C:\display\display.exe -device (number of your device) -rotate 90 /toggle
If the "90 (degrees)" is the wrong screen rotation, just change it to "180" or "270".
You should be done now, and you may edit the shortcut or/and add it to your Taskbar by creating a new Toolbar.
->The nice thing about this way, is that you only need one shortcut and not multiple-<
