Ctrl+Alt+Arrow no longer rotates my screen

used this shortcut all the time to flip my monitor to portrait for reading pdfs. since a graphics driver update it does nothing. did they remove the hotkey, or is there a setting to turn it back on?
ctrl alt arrow

If the screen got stuck upside down by accident and you're trying to fix it: Settings > System > Display > Display orientation > Landscape fixes it straight away, no shortcut needed. To stop it happening again, turn the hotkeys off in the Intel graphics app if your driver still has them. People hit Ctrl+Alt+arrow by accident all the time.

that shortcut was never part of Windows, it came with the Intel graphics driver, and newer drivers dropped it or have it off by default. so it usually disappears after a driver update. you can still rotate from Settings > System > Display > Display orientation. if you need the hotkey back, look in the Intel graphics app first, otherwise a small rotate tool can map the keys for you.
