Windows 10 auto photo rotation

[GuyJD]

Apparently this is a feature of Windows 10 where it will rotate photos and their respective thumbnails to how it thinks they should be orientated and there doesn't seem to be a way you change it so it saves to the photo, you can tell Windows to rotate it and it will show it differently on your screen within explorer but as soon as you try to upload that photo it's in the wrong orientation.

 

Case in point I tried to upload a picture of my cat and dog to the edupets thread, it looks fine on my pc and is in a portrait orientation but when I upload it to the forum it's in landscape, so I thought I'd rotate it 90 degrees clockwise on my pc and re-upload it but nope, still comes out in the exact same landscape orientation as before. I've tried rotating it in the right click context menu and by opening it in the photo app.

 

I've noticed this a few times when uploading pictures to our website and when sending emails to people not on Windows 10 and can't find a way to fix it.

 

Google doesn't seem to have a solution either, has anyone found a way to fix this?

 

 

*p.s this is a desktop I'm doing this on not a tablet

Can you open them in Paint?

I normally just cheat and save via Paint too Windows 8 has that annoyance too!

 

Don't "think" it has a built in option as it's just using the meta tags within the photo now so it's the actual photo that says it's that way and Windows just follows "now"

I have done it in the photo app, after I rotate the picture, I move to the next picture and back to the original and it saves the rotation....
