Default portrait to landscape

I accidently changed the view on my laptop from landscape to portrait and I
have no idea how I did it and need to go back to landscape.
Does anyone know how I can do this? Ive looked for hours with no sucess.

Default portrait to landscape

The easiest method is probably going to be pressing Ctrl-Alt-Up Arrow, but
your system could use another shortcut for that. There is going to be a
special display or 'graphics' icon in control panel with that option for
orientation. Sometimes it's also in the Notification area.

The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video
card, to help it work with monitors that rotate to portrait
orientation. You accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and some arrow key.
Rotate it back using those keys.
