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?

    this works temporarily because the problem is with that coworker process. this works just until you have next update waiting. that coworker process should not prevent sleeping. whole windows update system in windows 10 is total nightmare but no more about that problem in this thread..

    I have found a simple steps to troubleshoot this issue. Works on my 4 different PCs.

    (I'm not sure about the English names of Settings app...)

    1. Settings=>Windows Update=>Other options=>Set delay of Windows Update on max days
    2. Close Setting
    3. Wait some time (~1 min)
    4. Open Settings again=>Windows Update=>click on Resume Windows Update button at the right
    5. That's all.

    Sorry, I have only Pro version. I don't know if the Home version has an option to pause updates.

    This fix is a joke but STILL WORK :-)

    Thanks DIK07!

    I also tried this. I don't know why it works and I don't care how it works, but it works.

    Just throwing my hat in the ring. I am another who is experiencing this issue with MoUsoCoreWorker keeping my computer awake

    Installed the update (KB4023057) when it came out and continued to have this issue.
    I have since updated to 20H2 and the issue persists.

    I have gone through every "solution" in this thread and nothing has fixed the issue for me.

    Edition Windows 10 Pro

    Version 20H2

    Installed on ‎2/‎3/‎2021

    OS build 19042.804

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

    no you have not. if you try my solution, it will work.

    Lol. Cool man.

    I went through a this thread and copied each unique solution and went through them one by on.

    Not only did your solution not work, but it ended up preventing non-cumulative updates from installing at all.

    Thank you

    it WILL WORK. because it stops that coworker process. your computer goes to sleep after that. (if you had that same problem as mentioned in this thread. if you have some other problem with sleeping then you have to go to other thread or write your own.
