How To Disable Auto Rotate On Windows 10

Syed N

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in response.

I understand that you see photos in a different orientation when you transfer them to a computer which has Windows 7 or XP from Windows 10.

Does this happen with all the photos?

What happens when you access these photos in a different program other than Windows Photo Viewer? (like MS Paint)

Do let us know so we can help you further.

When I copy photo's from my Samsung galaxy to windows 10. They are auto rotated in the right way. As I upload the photo to a website. The the are rotated in the original taken way by the camera. This is very anoying how to stop auto rotation or make it permanent.

I wish someone would have an answer to this. I have searched for this answer for quite some time. Microsoft never seems to answer the question. In case the issue is a barrier with English, let me help the original author.

Some cameras and smart phones today are able to put into the photo (EXIF data?) the orientation in which it believes the photo was taken.

I usually upload them to my computer by just by opening up the device or memory card in explorer and then select the photos and drag them into the desired folder.

As the transfer is completes, windows generates thumbnails and they correspond to the proper orientation the photo was taken.

But, if you open them in a windows 7 machine or uploading them to a website to share (say to eBay, Facebook or even Google Photo some times); they may not read the EXIF data and the rotation is all wrong.

Then, there's another issue as you try to correct it (and this is probably the bigger problem in my opinion). If you right-mouse-click on the thumbnail of the photo which needs to be rotated and chose 'rotate left' or 'rotate right' it will rotate the image AND the thumbnail. So now the thumbnail is likely 90degrees out of phase, but the photo is correct.

So, in my opinion, Microsoft needs to do one of two things:

Option 1) Rotate the photo AND the thumbnail to match the EXIF data. Then if the user rotates the image from the thumnail view (which also rotates the acutal photo) the two will match one another.

Option 2) Stop reading EXIF data all together and just let the users do it as needed.

I don't understand Microsoft why this problem cannot be understood in a correct way. We don't want auto-rotate function or at least it should be optional, on thumbnails in explorer which always irritates us.

Yes. If the camera (phone or digital camera) has a sensor in it that reports orientation in the EXIF data, then windows10 automatically rotates the thumbnail in Windows Explorer. It also looks like the default 'Photos" application also displays it rotated.

The problem lies in other, 3rd party programs that don't read the exif data. For a photo editing program that's fine because the author will just rotate the image during the editing process.

But the issue lies in something like a media software that provides a screensaver which doesn't rotate the image. So now the image that you thought was properly rotated is not!

So you would think the simple fix is to go that folder, right-mouse-click and tell windows to rotate the image left or right (personally I think that 'clockwise' or 'counterclockwise' was better in Win7, but that's semantics). But what happens is that the image will rotate, but so will the thumbnail. So now the thumbnail looks sideways but the photo is now correctly orientated.

I've looked all over the web for a solution. There are TONS of people who have complained about it.

Hope this makes sense.

I have the same questions since I changed to Windows 8.1 about two years ago.

Let me explain with an example.

You take a photo on portray (not landscape) with your digital camera. Then copy it to your Windows 8 or 10 PC and want to view it using the Windows Explorer. You see first thumbnail of your photo on the Explorer and if you double click it you open your portray photo with the Windows Image Viewer covering all the screen. Everything works correct, I mean you see the photo in right direction as thumbnail and content itself. But if you use another viewer like Windows Image Viewer of the Windows 7 operation system, you see the portray photo in landscape format (!). Remember Windows 7 does not support the EXIF information of the JPG files and we had not this problem that time.

Result is you think the photos you are sharing or copying are in good shape but it is not the case. This is very annoying and the solution is very simple. We simply want Explorer turns the photos automatically according to the EXIF information only if we want it.

For this, Microsoft may add a new option / switch for auto rotate on Explorer for thumbnails and auto rotate on Windows Viewers for photos (JPG and TIFF files) like on FastStone Image Viewer.
