When I tell the computer to "sleep" while I'm watching youtube, it pretends to sleep and silently watches YouTube all night. It has done this multiple times.. When I click "sleep" the computer pretends to sleep by turning off the screen, and even the hard-drive and "thinking" lights turn off. I then go to sleep for hours while the computer sleeps too. Then I wake up and turn my computer back on. Here is what I find:
Today I found I'd been watching hours of political videos when I was sleeping and my computer screen and sounds were off because they were in "sleep" mode. WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? Why does sleep not mean sleep? Why does YouTube play 3 other videos when the computer is not supposed to by using it's computing power?
Someone recommended :
"In Advanced Power Settings, turn Hybrid Sleep OFF. Check also for Modern Sleep if you have it and turn that OFF as well. Restart and Suspend again. It should be now properly suspended". Unfortunately, "Allow hybrid sleep" already shows it was set to "off". I do not see Modern Sleep listed as an option.
Why is the computer still using the internet and playing videos (without sound or picture)? How can I make it "sleep" the way computers are supposed to sleep (without doing things and secretly using their processors and wasting battery power).

- the computer mouse is often still hovering over the "sleep button" with the windows start menu up (as if it never vanished when clicked).
- You tube continues to play silently for hours.
