How to Block Access From All Devices

by shielae2021 . Updated 4 years, 11 months ago

How do you block all devices from accessing your laptop? I think someone is connecting to my laptop. I disconnected my modem then I checked Windows Update on my laptop. It had that it was up to date and the last time it checked was when I logged in. How is this possible if my laptop isn’t connected to the internet and wasn’t even turned on. I have a smart TV that’s connected via Chromecast. I have windows 10 home edition with the following settings.

Network & Internet/Airplane mode/On
Network & Internet/Wifi/Off
Network & Internet/VPN/Allow VPN over metered network/Off
Network & Internet/VPN/Allow VPN while roaming/Off
Network & Internet/Status/Network troubleshooter/Change advanced sharing settings/(eveything under Private and Guest or Public (current profile) is set to Off)
Phone/(not set up)
Privacy/App permissions/access for this device is off on all apps
Privacy/App permissions/Allow apps to access is off on all apps

Device Manager settings:
Dell Wireless 1705 Bluetooth/disabled

I use a VPN whenever I browse the internet. I’ve also noticed files missing from my flash drive.
