You May be Able to Rotate the Screen Using Keystrokes Depending on Your Computer

The Intel Graphics utility is used to Enable or Disable the keystrokes to rotate the screen.

The options available to rotate the screen varies, and may not be supported.

To determine what options are available and how to enable them, perform the following steps.

Depending on which processor generation that is in your computer determines what Intel Graphics utility is installed on your computer.

• For computers with a 5th Generation Intel® Core Processors or older, the Intel Graphics Control Panel is used.
• For computers with a 6th Generation Intel® Core Processors and newer, the Intel Graphics Control Panel has been removed and has been replaced with the Intel Graphics Command Center.

Not sure what processor generation is in your computer? See Intel Knowledge base article How to Find the Generation of Intel® Core™ Processors.
