There are numerous ways into a computer. Leaving your RDP ports open is a long standing MS vulnerability.

Thieves use tools like Shodan.io to find vulnerabilities and exploit them.

I will second using Steve Gibson's ShieldsUp. Going to his site at https://www.grc.com will give you loads of security information.

Like I said: off line.

My computer at home is not connected to the internet or even a network.

I do internet on a tablet that does nothing important.
