Mouso core worker process

My computer (Windows 10, 64-bit Build 19041) is constantly waking up from sleep and then going back to sleep for a short time only to repeat the cycle.  I ran sleep diagnostics on the Windows PowerShell as administrator i.e. powercfg /systemsleepdiagnostics.  The report from yesterday (5/31/2020) indicates that my computer awoke from sleep 50-55 times during the course of the day until at about 8:00 p.m., I decided that it was better to fully shut down the computer rather than have these continued cycles.  The common thread in all these awakenings from sleep is MoUSO Core Worker Process (MoUsoCoreWorker.exe).

- \Device\HarddiskVolume5\Windows\System32\MoUsoCoreWorker.exe | START TIME | DURATION | TYPE | TOKEN | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2020-05-31T18:18:53 | 0:00:01 | Execution | 0xffff8389192ab2e0 |

This executable is a Microsoft programming element. 

 Why is this happening and what can I do to eliminate this totally annoying phenomena?

    Stopping and restarting the Windows Update Service is only a temporary solution. MoUSO Core Worker keeps reappearing in the Powercfg requests. Microsoft seems to be aware of the problem so maybe there's an inherent problem that can't be fixed. If that's the case then sleep mode should be removed from the power settings because it's misleading.

    After updating to 20H2 I still facing this issue, too. The only way to temporary fix it, is to restart the windows update service after that sleep mode works again.

    Please all,  who want this issue fixed use Feedback hub, otherwise we won´t get much priority at Microsoft..

    Windows insomnia continues. Every fix is temporary because of MoUSO Core Worker. Sleep mode was an essential function. We're sorry to see it go.

    Here's a useful article that details the issue and provides a resolution. Although it might be a temporary one, it works for me until Microsoft sorts it out. Atleast I can understand the issue and how to sort it manually for now.

    What is MoUSOCoreWorker.exe? Why does it keep restarting and waking PC from Sleep Mode?
