    Hi,

    Anyone else the problem that sometimes the hotkeys (CTRL+ALT+Arrows) not working? This is EXTREMELY nasty because I need to frequently rotate the screen because I'm often going from Tablet to Laptop mode.

    The problem is always the same (Laptop in UltraBase with external Lenovo monitor):
    - CTRL+ALT+Arrow UP/DOWN not working at all
    - CTRL+ALT+Left/Right rotates only external monitor (irrespective of the cursor)
    - IF the screen of the external monitor is rotated, CTRL+ALT+UP (only this!) is working for rotating the external screen back
    - built-in screen not rotated at all
    - Only reboot helps

    In normal conditions, the active screen should be rotated.
    I checked options in "Intel Graphics and Media" regarding hotkeys but neither disabling nor enabling fixed (except for reboot).


    Thanks,
    divB
