This works for me for BlueStacks 4:

Install "Rotation Control" app
Enable it to appear onto taskbar; optionally with system start
Whenever you want to rotate the screen, just pull down the task bar, and give it a go

Try This...

Go to your notification area in the taskbar.

Right click on Bluestacks Agent>Rotate Portrait Apps>Enabled.

There are several options available..

a. Automatic - Selected By Default - It will rotate the app player in portrait mode for portrait apps.

b. Disabled - It will force the portrait apps to work in landscape mode.

c. Enabled - It will force the portrait apps to work in portrait mode only.

This May help you..

what key should i press to rotate? i have enabled the Rotate Portrait Apps – W I Z A R D Sep 11 '14 at 05:26
I'm searching for a way to rotate the window by force (manual by the user). Not to enable rotation by apps. – codepleb Apr 13 '15 at 12:24

There is no Bluestacks Agent on the notification area. There is only "App player online" and the only option is Exit. – Pedro77 Aug 18 '16 at 13:46

@Pedro77 same here. I installed Rotation control app which worked fine. M.Zain suggested that in another answer. – LuckyCoder Feb 07 '19 at 09:10
i don't see any "bluestacks agent" , and I tried right clicking on everything in the win10 window border and nothing shows any rotation options. – David Jeske Mar 09 '19 at 00:50
@DavidJeske This is very old answer and Bluestacks have been changed so much after that. I am not using Bluestacks any more. Please check another answer. – Pragnesh Ghoda シ Mar 13 '19 at 06:42

The newest version of BlueStacks has the ability to rotate the screen. Open the app and there's an icon in the lower right to rotate.

You could also change resolution of your bluestacks emulator. For example from 800x1280 to 1280x800

Here are instructions for how to change the screen resolution.

To change screen resolution in BlueStacks Android emulator you need to edit two registry items:

Run regedit.exe
Set new resolution (in decimal):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\FrameBuffer\0\Height

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\BlueStacks\Guests\Android\FrameBuffer\0\Width

Kill all BlueStacks processes.

Restart BlueStacks
