          pm2 save

          then boot to rotated
          pm2 start installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
          should be vertical
          then ctrl-m
          pm2 save

          then sudo reboot

            @sdetweil thx for your support. i found the guilty module after 2 hours. it’s MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite. There is an hidden rotate parameter and the default parameter is normal rotate. that’s why when MM starts there was a rotate screen on normal position.

            So for people with rotate problem when MM Starts and if you have MMM-PIR-Sensor-Lite, add this parameter in your config.js:

            rotation Direction of content rotation.

            Possible values: ‘normal’, ‘left’, ‘right’ or ‘inverted’
            Default value: ‘normal’

                I don’t know about the Pi3, but on the Pi4 you just go to display settings and tell it to go vertical… easier than all this programming that I never got to work with my MM
