Hello Parker,

Good to hear from you.

According to the post, I understand that you wonder whether it is possible
to access the computer when it is shut down and disconnected from the
internet. Is this correct?

I agree with Fritz and Admiral that it is impossible to access a computer
when it is shut down.

As for the change of time, I am not quite clear. Do you mean you see event
logs with the time which is 3 hours after you shut down the computer in the
event viewer? What do you mean by "change the date and time to break into
my files"? Have you seen you files modified with the new time?

In addition, please check if you have enabled standby mode, which will
possibly wake your computer, as Leythos said. You can cut the power off to
make sure the computer is completely shut down.

The following articles are about "standby mode" which I offer for your
reference.

Pay extra attention to the snippet "Enabling Devices to Wake the Computer".
