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). 

- Power Requests

- \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?

    I noticed that both my Wife and my PC didn't go to sleep last night. Both have this process running... No updates...

    Have you tried turning your Wife on and off again ?   

    Otherwise, I'd recommend an upgrade to Wife 2.0.

    Had the same problem.

    I checked for updates via Windows Update - it said - no new updates.

    I restarted the Windows Update service.

    I checked for updates via Windows Update again (2 min later), and now Windows Update finds new updates.

    It seems like windows update is stuck in a loop and thus the services keeps on staying alive. 

    I think that it probably fixed my problem. If anything new will happen, I'll update here.

    It worked! After manually restarting Windows Update Service it shows pending update (KB4570721). After installing update there is no mousecoreworker.exe request anymore.

    Thanks!

    I am having the "Won't go to sleep" problem. 

    MoUsoCoreWorker.exe consistently shows in powercfg /requests.

    • Trying the "Windows Update" and restarting the service did remove it for a short time but it returned at some point (since my computer didn't sleep by itself which is set to 30 minutes of inactivity).
    • I've also tried powercfg /requestsoverride PROCESS MoUsoCoreWorker.exe but it remains in the /requests.
