You might tell us what type of device you are working with. On my Desktop the screen orientation seems to be controlled in the video settings. If you are running in Tablet mode perhaps going to desktop mode might help.

I have been thinking about getting a Dell 2 in 1 but haven't decided yet. I feel using a touchscreen by reaching over a keyboard doesn't work well so I would probably set it to stand by itself and the screen would have to invert for that to work.

Such screen orientation on a 2 in 1, since the keyboard is disabled when the top opens past a certain point, may not just be in a driver but may be something basic to the system itself. Sorry I can't help with that.

Have you tried Settings > System > Tablet Mode option; When I sign IN "Remember what I used last.
Also: When this device automatically switches tablet mode On or OFF "Always ask me before switching".
