How do I check if my laptop is remotely controlled else where?
The ability to determine who is logged into a computer remotely depends on the configuration of the computer, if authentication was required to access the computer, the means of access and if logging of authentication was enabled. If someone is spying on your home computer they have to be connected to your computer or they should be on your network. If you are concerned about some sort of remote monitoring while the computer is running, you are in a better position to prove that it could not have happened than to prove that it did. You must eliminate the possibility that there is running on your computer any software which would make it possible. Such software would typically be malware or a remote login program.
Turn off remote access from control panel, system remote settings. Look at recently installed programs and check there are no programs like Teamviewer recently installed. If not sure, post an image of installed programs. Install and run malwarebytes free and do a scan just to check nothing unusual has somehow been installed.
Do a full system scan with defender or whatever av program you have installed.
