Research direction
Start in the Power Display rotation handling and reproduce the issue by changing a monitor's rotation in Windows System Settings after setting it in Power Display. Trace how the rotation menu obtains its current state; done means the menu reflects the system's current rotation rather than the previous Power Display setting.
