Rotate one duplicated screen without rotating the other Windows 8
I need to duplicate my desktop to show a video on two screens however the second one is rotated at an angle of 90 degrees.
I'm aware when you duplicate the screen any rotations are applied to both screens is there a way for this not to happen.
I've tried writing some C++ to change it however as soon as I apply the rotation to the second screen it forces the settings for the first screen to change as well. I'm considering write a program to give me the functionality I need however I need this today or tomorrow at the latest so there isn't really much time.
Any help would be appreciated

It is not possible to rotate one screen and not the other while in duplicate mode. If you make it so that one monitor is an extended screen it will rotate by itself.
Alternatively your videoplayer may have the option to rotate the screen 90°. I know for example that both VLC media player and Media Player Classic from the k-lite codec pack can do this. Note that rotating the video itself will rotate it at both screens too. Thats just how duplicate works.

I feared as much, looks like the easiest option will be to just use two computers, one for pc display one for projector display :(

No I need one rotated and one not, the first feed is for the user the second screen is mounted sidewards (can't change that) for an audience, so one needs to be rotated and the other not

Have two screens and want one horizontal and one vertical.
when you have extended(meaning two)screen, It IS POSSIBLE to have one landscape/horizontal and one portrait/vertical. I just did that.
1) Right click mouse button while cursor is on the background screen of your PC.
2) From drop down select "Screen Resolution" the menu may be different based on Windows version.
3) You will get screen that show tile "Change the appearance of your displays", you will see two rectangle labeled 1 and 2 representing the two monitors.
4) Select the display rectangle labeled 1 or 2, which ever one you want rotated.
5)look at the screen details there is one titles ORIENTATION, using the drop down menu choose Landscape or Portrait.

Achieving this in Windows 10 (might work on Windows 8.1 also, don't know) is easy, but not obvious.
First, extend your desktop to the monitor you wish to adjust.
Second, set the orientation you want on that monitor.
Third, change the 'extend' mode to 'duplicate' instead.
Now, your image will be properly oriented on the other display.

I'm years late to the party, but hopefully for others looking for this info it'll still be of use.
Achieving this in Windows 10 (might work on Windows 8.1 also, don't know) is easy, but not obvious.
