Tilt laptop to read screen!
Bloke in the corner shop asked me to help him out. I'm still XP and know
very little about Windows 10. Seems that he had put something onto the key board of his Pavilion Windows 10 lap top, then everything went weird. To read the screen you had to tilt the lap top 90 degrees to the right, on to it's edge. Everything was displaying from the narrow left hand side of the screen downwards. I pressed F4 and it went back to normal. Can anybody tell me why pressing F4 solved the problem? I hope that I've made myself clear. Taa. |

Windows supports vertical (portrait) screen orientation, your friend somehow triggered that, and F4 restored it to default. Have a good day, Thank you very much. I'll tell him. |

From the user manual for my HP Pavillion Windows 10 laptop: F4: (which has little pic of a monitor on it)= Switches the screen image between display devices connected to the system. For example, if a monitor is connected to the computer, repeatedly pressing this key alternates the screen image from the computer display to the monitor display to a simultaneous display on both the computer and the monitor. It depends on your graphics screen. For example on my machines I have these short-cut keys: Graphics Properties http://i.imgur.com/o2YwcIK.png -- If you want to filter all of my posts then please read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/organize-your-messages-using-filters In step 7 select "Delete" With over 350 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

One Function key, controls which port to output to. For example, you're looking at your laptop screen in a meeting. You connect a projector to the VGA port on the side of the laptop. By pushing a function key, you can select only the VGA port to receive a video signal, push it again, you can select both the panel and the VGA to get a signal and so on. Push the key enough times in succession, and the output signal returns to only driving the panel. Other keys can cause the screen to rotate. The video card driver is clever enough, to handle both calls for portrait or landscape operation. In addition, there are clever little sensors. A device with four pins, with a ball bearing inside it. If you pick up an LCD monitor equipped with such a sensor, as the sensor is rotated, it causes the video card to change output modes, so that the screen remains readable, as the panel rotates past the compass points. Since a ball bearing, touching contacts, isn't all that reliable, you can always expect situations where the monitor display is turned the wrong way, and rotating the panel no longer causes the right stuff to happen. Using an actual electrical contact, instead of some other whizzy tech, is responsible for failures of this sort. So that's a sampling of "weird stuff with panels". As a result, a panel image can be rotated by pressing a key on the computer end. Or in rare cases with more expensive display devices, a sensor in the monitor commands the appropriate rotation be used. Even smartphones can include auto-sensing of device rotation. Paul |

Ctrl-Alt-arrow keys rotates the screen. Google found this in less than a second. Depends on the computer (graphics driver). I once saw someone operating his computer with the CRT monitor sat upside down, as someone had played that trick on him. I pointed out the monitor might not cool very well that way up and he could have set fire to it, then corrected the output.. -- Seen in the back window of a car: In case of emergency screw driver on back seat. |

That annoys me immensely when I try to use someone's tablet and the display ends up sideways, then I have to jiggle it about to make it the way up I'm looking at it. So they're not perfect.

Ctrl-Alt-arrow keys rotates the screen. Google found this in less than a second. I did see that on Google, but, I was asking about the F4 key. Not Ctl-Alt-arrows. The shop keeper found it hard to thank me for inadvertently sorting out his lap top. A can of beer would have been nice? He is Asian and he thinks that I'm his friend. I'm not his friend and never will be. |
