After installationn, open the dropdown menu at top left, click Landscape to lock screen at horizontal direction, click Portrait to lock screen at vertical direction. Once you configure the value to Landscape or Portrait, it will automatically lock screen direction to Landscape or Portrait afterwards.


Now you can run a software which will rotate screen and see screen will no longer rotate.

This rotation locked application will automatically start upon system start, but will launch in 15 seconds or so after entering desktop, this because applications are starting in particular order.
