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?

    Yes back again, after several weeks of sleeping ok. powercfg -requests not showing anything. The PC has just decided to randomly not to go to sleep, not even the monitor atm. What a PIA, but nothing more for me to troubleshoot.

    It seems the cycle of not sleeping that starts around patch Tuesday and might be the way the o/s interfaces with hardware or more likely something to do with Windows Update messing up. Who knows? One day I might reinstall Windows but life is too short to worry about this sh!te any more.

    If you aren't getting the process its something else keeping your computer from sleeping. Sleep issues are fairly common and people have posted here about their issues that are totally unrelated to this. This issues is cut and dried, its the process messing with sleep. Anything else going on is a different issue.

    Thanks for your solution. It worked for me after restarting the PC.

    Interesting that its back and preventing sleep at this point in the month. Usually there is about 2 weeks when things work fine since the process isn't rearing its ugly head.

    Feel free to go back and find my posts but I'd be wary of messing with WU to temporarily fix this issue. I had to do a repair install after WU failed from me doing the simple fixes mentioned. I'll just manually put my computers to sleep until it resolves itself by installing the updates.
