If i am sitting at my desk with the laptop open but not awake. Black screen. Without touching anything, it comes to life. Is something accessing my camera or something nefarious happening here? It just started doing this maybe a few weeks ago and it seem to be happening more often.

If you use an external mouse, slight vibrations could be waking it from sleep. Scheduled automatic updates (thanks Windows...........) could also be a culprit. I believe most if not all modern laptops have a light by the camera that turns on when it's in use. Not saying it couldn't be hacked to NOT do that, but if it really concerns you so much you can stick a band-aid over the lens. The cotton pad will help prevent scratching so you can use it if/when you need.
