1. Use shortcut keys

Most computers offer a combination of shortcut keys that make it easy to return the screen to normal. If the screen is upside down, we can try pressing the "Ctrl", "Alt" and "↓" keys. If the screen is left and right, we can press Ctrl, Alt, ←, or →.

2. Adjust the display Settings

If using the shortcut keys doesn't work, you can also try to fix the problem by adjusting the display Settings. In Windows, right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select the "Display Settings" option. In the pop-up window, find the "display orientation" option, by selecting the correct option, you can restore the screen to the normal display state.

3. Reinstall the graphics card driver

If the above two methods are not successful, then we may need to consider reinstalling the graphics card driver. Graphics card drivers are an important part of controlling your computer's graphics output and can also cause the screen to turn upside down if it malfunctions.

A simple way is to suggest that you can use the Driver Talent to install, directly identify your computer's graphics card model through scanning, click to upgrade the graphics card driver.
