If this isn’t the right subreddit tell me please.
So I think someone is accessing my computer because I have been experiencing weird mouse movements and other strange things on my computer. Things like soundboard going off for no reason, microphone being accessed, my mouse being jerked around for a few seconds in a game etc.
What do I do in this situation? I have already disabled my network adapter but I’m kinda stumped about what else to do.

Best way to check if it’s actually someone connecting remotely or if it’s a issue with your mouse is to unplug the mouse/disable your trackpad. If the pointer still jitters and moves around then unplug from the internet, backup all your critical stuff and re-install windows.
If it’s stopped moving then clean the mouse/trackpad, particularly the laser. If it still jitters then get rid of the mouse.
My wireless mouse also does this when it’s dying.

If networking is off and it’s happening then how can it be someone accessing it?
it’s before i turned network off
Test it by turning it off and on and seeing if it comes back only when on.
Do you have roommates? If so, check if they plugged in a Bluetooth USB to PC and are messing with you.
Easiest way to check
1- Turn off Bluetooth
2- look for any USB’s plugged in that you know you didn’t do
You can also do what others are suggesting and disable networking to see if that fixes it
