I was adding an address to the block list in Orange on my laptop when the screen turned upside down and I can't get it back. I have rebooted a couple of times but no joy. Any ideas please.

All in good fun. Might help if you state the OS and version Windows 10 on a Toshiba laptop.

Aah there you are, windows... had it been Apple OS----I still could not help. However a most unusual problem I hope there is someone who has seen this before and can help you. Is there such a thing as a screen lock on Windows? That allows the screen to be maintained at portrait or landscape? Causing this problem.

Hi ajm.
I am no expert but I fond this with Google.
Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow: To flip the screen to the right.
Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow: To flip the screen to the left.
Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow: To set the screen to its normal display settings.
Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow: To flip the screen upside down.
I haven't tested it but it may be worth a try. It wasn't just on one site, several replies said the same. Hope it works for you.
Michael

Michael you are a star!!! I tried a random selection following your posting - all is back to normal.Thinking how it might have happened - the ring finger on my right hand is well bent ( dupytrons) so I must have caught the down arrow at the same time I hit Alt Control. Have a beer on me.
