Hidden You tube video

[bobmac]

Can someone help me please.
I have a youtube video playing on my windows desktop and I cant find it to turn it off.
It's not on the browser tab anywhere and if I switch off and on again it comes back on.
Help please.
Thanks

Try going in to Task Manager
If you can see it there, right click and select End Task

Im a bit out of date with this now but I think it may have been run in background from an autoexec file that runs on startup. The Taskmanager allows you to kill off the program and reset it.
Bit of a guess though as I said I am a bit out of date now.

It was wierd, even with the browser turned off and nothing on except the desktop, it was still playing.

That's because it was running in 'native windows'/aka on the Desktop, as the likes of Spotify, Excel, Word do, rather than from the normal 'within a browser' mode.

Task Manager would certainly be able to sort it out - as that controls things at a 'lower' level
