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).

This executable is a Microsoft programming element. 

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

    Have you tried turning your Wife off and on again?

    So far so good Dushter.  I have the Update Orchestrator service running in manual mode and Windows Update is still working normally and doing its thing.   MoUsoCoreWorker is not listed as running and is not causing problems.   PC is going to sleep without having nightmares anymore.

    I've been having this issue for more than one year and it's getting annoying.

    Sometimes, I wake up with my laptop at 0% power the next day, or even just after a few hours.

    i do not know, i use only manual updating (i do not want my computer to restart itself when i am middle of doing something important) but you can test it. you can set that service back to (automatic) if that does not work for you and start/restart the service. i have understood that mouso service is just a helper service and when it is set to (manual), windows update service starts it when it needs it. and my windows update service functions just fine.

    Hi Dushter,

    I am willing to give your solution a try but I have a question:  If you stop the Update Orchestrator service, is Windows Update still functional or you have to run it manually once in a while?

    I have mentioned it numerous times that messing with WU services screwed up one of my computers to the point I had to do a repair install of Windows.
