I turn off the wifi on my laptop when I am not using it, to presumably prevent hacking into it when I am not on it. However, I have noticed the CURRENT WEATHER appearing on my home screen, before I enter my password to actually use it! I searched, and a few years ago, people said it wasn't possible, but one commenter said, "The new windows might do it" (or some comment like that). Well, it seems that it HAS to be able to do it if it is showing current weather! So now, I am going to have to turn my laptop completely off to provide the level of security I thought I had! (I guess it won't be long before they can access my laptop even with the power off)

Pretty rare? How so? Any keylogger would be installed until removed. If what you say about rebooting were true, then anti-malware software wouldn't exist. Not to mention rebooting would do nothing for data already collected by invasive software or web applications. The only way to keep your data safe would be to airgap your device and never take it online.
