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?

    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.

    Does anyone know if overriding the MoUsoCoreWorker.exe like shown above can cause the computer to sleep in the middle of a Windows Update?  I've heard that you should never turn off your computer during an update because that could corrupt Windows.  And that's one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to use the solution above.  Anyone?

    I've posted more than once that just doing the seemingly innocuous restarting the WU service messed up one of my computers to the point I had to do a repair install.  To set processes to turn it off etc. is asking for trouble imo.  To me none of this is worth it.  For the two weeks it doesn't sleep I manually put it to sleep and then hope I get all the updates so it does work for the other part of the month.

    To tell POWERCFG to ignore MoUsoCoreWorker.exe requests, you have to enter a command like this:

    powercfg -requestsoverride process MoUsoCoreWorker.exe execution

    And then to see if the OVERRIDE request has been registered, enter the following command and observe that MoUsoCoreWorker.exe is listed.

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg -requestsoverride

    [SERVICE]

    [PROCESS]

    MoUsoCoreWorker.exe EXECUTION

    [DRIVER]

    A reboot may be required after the override request to knock the MoUsoCoreWorker off its pedestal.
