Powershell script to change screen Orientation
- by user161964
I wrote a script to change Primary screen orientation to portrait. my screen is 1920X1200
It runs and no error reported. But the screen does not rotated as i expected.
The code was modified from Set-ScreenResolution (Andy Schneider)
Does anybody can help me take a look?
