Okay, I'm really confused here. So I recently stopped my minecraft server because of the lack of players. I Home Hosted This Server And some how now the server is up and running (I don't have a cmd prompt open running the server!) Picture: As you can see there is a minecraft server up with my local host, and that I have no server running (as far as I know!). I am so confused....

You don't have to have a console for a server to run. Check your task manager for any version of Java running and kill them.
did you /stop the server in game or >stop in in the console? if not, you probably just hit the big red X and it left the process running. You need to stop the server for it to close properly.
