Why does Youtube play paused videos at 3 in the morning? - 296 - 06-12-2014 10:10 AM This started two days ago. At three in the morning, it was playing a paused video of a music video of Weird Al Yankovic. My father woke up and turned off my computer. Then, last night, it was playing a Brock Baker video, and I woke up turning off the sound. I know it's silly to not turn off my browser, but the reason why I keep my computer on is that it takes very long to turn back on again. Give me some help, it would be must appreciated.

Leaving a YouTube (or even a Yahoo!) page open will definitely clog things up. Whenever things seem stuck or slow, do the following, then shutdown/reboot. You're gonna love it.   :-) Mozilla Firefox: →  Tools  →  Options  →  Privacy ('key')  →  Clear Now [x] Browsing History [x] Cache [x] Cookies [x] Offline Website Data [x] Authenticated Sessions →  Clear Private Data Now Google Chrome: →  ≡  or wrench  → Tools  →  Clear browsing data →  the beginning of time ▼ [x] Clear browsing history [x] Empty the cache [x] Delete cookies and other site and plug-in data →  Clear browsing data Internet Explorer 9 and 10: →  Gear (icon)  →  Safety  →  Delete browsing history [x] Temporary Internet files and website files [x] Cookies and website data [x] History →  Delete Internet Explorer 11: →  Settings ('gear' icon on the far right side)  →  Options (then under History)  →  "Select" [x] Cached images [x] Cookies [x] Browsing History →  Delete Don't forget to completely shutdown & reboot afterwards. :-)
