        @MisterT makes no sense.

        do
        pm2 stop all
        pm2 delete 0
        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
