Windows 10: Laptop started playing Youtube video while the lid is closedin Sleep

Hello everyone! Weird thing happened yesterday. Just before going to sleep I was watching a youtube video which i paused and closed my laptopclosing lid is set to sleep mode to go to bed. At 3am in the night a video started playing and I woke up by hearing the audio of that. I got freaked out and opened my laptop. Found out that the video which I paused started playing. I would like know the possible reasons for this. Did my laptop got hacked?

Wake from Sleep - video playing before log in

I have just realised that if my laptop enters sleep (eg closing lid) whilst a youtube video is playing then when i wake it up the sound from that video plays before requiring a user to login.

is there anyway of preventing this happening?

 

Windows Sleep Secretly Plays YouTube Videos for Hours While "Sleeping"

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:

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

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).
