Why isn't my screen rotating with shortcuts anymore?

Previously, the key combinations Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys or Ctrl + Alt + 2/4/6/8* could be used to rotate your screen faster. As of 2018, this shortcut doesn't work anymore for Windows.

Can I also rotate my screen 45 degrees?

Yes, you can use monitors with a pivot function for this. With a vertical screen, you can read long texts without scrolling, like when you're browsing or reading PDFs.
