How to disable screen orientation hot keys
Solution 1:
Besides disabling the feature in the Intel driver you also need to uninstall the Lenovo Screen Reading Optimizer.
Solution 2:
As anyone that does even the mildest amount of programming will attest, it is very frustrating having 3rd party overriding the keys and sending you on a wild goose-chase for why disabling is not enough.
the thing is that even if you disable the hotkey functions, the key presses are still trapped and do not "bubble" to your application.
a quick fix is to enable hotkeys, assign them to different keys. I've used Ctrl+alt+F2, F3, F4, F5 and then disabled.
I'll have to see what functionality that will break...
this is not the best solution, but I think the fastest to implement and easiest to revert.
Solution 3:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\INTEL\DISPLAY\IGFXCUI\HotKeys]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
Setting this registry key will do what you want.
Solution 4:
I see several people referred to the Intel HD graphics driver, but without much in the way of instructions, so perhaps this will help. (Note, this response is partly based on this answer: https://superuser.com/a/592688/197972).
On my system (Windows 10, Intel HD Graphics 5500, driver version 10.18.15.4281, dated 8/31/2015), the answer is:
1: Launch the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel (it's on the start menu).
2: Click the icon labeled "Options and Support":
3: Under the "Manage Hot Keys" section, click "Disable":
4: Click "Apply" to save the changes.

After disabling these keys, I find that they sometimes remain in effect until after the system is rebooted. Here are two possible solutions:
- Try rebooting the system
- Try updating the video driver
If neither of those work, then you can use SpyBot's "System Startup" editor feature to disable the function keys StartUp module:

- Make sure "Advanced" mode is enabled (under the "Mode" menu)
- Select the "Tools" category (only available in Advanced mode)
- Select the "System Startup" option
- Find the tool called "hkcmd" and disable it (this is Intel's hot key manager module)
