[@shiellagrabador647]

Thank you your the one who helped me thank you so much😊😊💖

[@cyndik1663]

Yes, thank you. The solution was simple though a bit hard to see what you're clicking on upside down. I turned my mouse upside down too which helped, but still hard to navigate. Landscape flipped setting, OMG who wants that. It only gives you 11 seconds to keep changes. I had to try 3 times to get the mouse there in 11 seconds. So glad it went back to right side up. I'm very grateful!

[@BambooBobo]

Thank you so much my son keeps messing with our computers and doing God knows what with it. But i came to search for these types of video to help me get my screen back to normal and it work thank you so much this is a life saver.

You can use also "ctrl + alt + up arrow"
