    I am on a dell xps 15 9560. The intel HD graphics software on any laptop I have used always had a setting for screen rotation and shortcuts (ctrl+alt+ Arrow) to rotate the screen. This is missing on the default driver (from dell website) of intel HD graphics. Rotating 180 degrees is useful if you plan to put the screen on the table and draw upside down.

    I know you can use the Windows display settings but there is no shortcut key. Before opting for a 3rd party software, does anyone know how to enable the setting (maybe through registry) or it is impossible?

    Settings should be like:

    There is a note on intel's website: The rotation feature may not be available if this feature is disabled by the computer manufacturer.

    I guess it is disabled by dell which is kinda stupid. I will have to download iRotate (more icons on the taskbar :( )

    I think this works on the 9550. I don't use it, but it happened to me by mistake when I intended to switch among desktops.
