I'm going to try this as unfortunately, it flipped again this evening. Went from Landscape to Portrait (flipped). No rhyme nor reason.

click on your network/speaker control center icon in the taskbar. is screen rotation greyed out or are you able to click it? if its not greyed out, we can lock it via a different registry method

*Also - does this pc have intel graphics? if so, it has hotkeys that can control screen rotation - they can be disabled as well

My office just shutdown but I’ll check tomorrow.

I had a thought, could using chrome desktop remote cause this? Have you ever heard of anything like that?

i honestly haven't used CRD in years... so im not sure about the current features. but when you are able to check it again:

Code: 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AutoRotation
create a new DWORD named "Enable" and make the value "1"

and it if does have intel follow these steps to disable the hotkeys:

I made the new DWORD.

It is Intel but it's Win 11. Can I use that link to disable the hotkeys?

Also, more and more I'm thinking it's the Chrome Desktop Remote. Today I updated the app on my iPhone and iPad. It automatically flips the computer screen as soon as I get on.

ahh ok. yeah may be the chrome remote overriding windows then. not sure offhand as i dont use that, but definitely a possibility.
you can use the intel steps if it has the intel control center installed. not all intel graphics have that program.

Nope. Still flips when I use Chrome Desktop Remote on my iPhone and iPad even with the new app. That has to be it. I guess I'll have to use it with my PC only.

Thank you for all your suggestions.

thats odd. I have used chrome remote desktop and never had it flip a screen around. Try unchecking scale to fit and resize to fit in the settings when connected and see what happens....

I had this problem the other day when I accidentally hit that rotate keyboard shortcut. I was able to rotate back to landscape, so now I followed this tutorial you supplied and was able to disable those hot keys. That's what I was looking for. Thanks for the link. :-)
