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 should possibly help bafly's issue with Bluetooth as well since the option for that is also under Human Interface Device's.  Its not so much the OS's issue as per device they have different settings and power schemes are such a pain to setup.  I recently had the issue with my LAN port and had to allow the computer to turn it off.  So make sure that all your devices have that enabled.

    I have been trying to deal with this issue (my computer does not go to sleep) for some time now, with no success.

    Phase 1

    In the beginning I ran CMD as administrator and discovered that MoUSO was preventing sleep.

    I followed the advice i this thread and now it does not seem to be interfering:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /requests

    DISPLAY:

    None.

    SYSTEM:

    None.

    AWAYMODE:

    None.

    EXECUTION:

    None.

    PERFBOOST:

    None.

    ACTIVELOCKSCREEN:

    None.

    (above result is produced after the set sleep time has expired)

    However, the computer still does not sleep.

    (is it possible that MoUSO is effecting things but not showing up in powercfg /requests results ????)

    Phase 2

    I have set the power plan settings for sleep and the advanced settings are configured for sleep and have Multi Media when sharing set to allow sleep.  I have even reset the setting.

    However, the computer still does not sleep. 

    Phase 3

    I have accessed the device manager and for every single device (including keyboard and mouse) I have that has a power tab in its properties, I have unchecked both the boxes for both "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" box "Allow this device to wake the computer".

    Is there anything else I can try ???

    That's where you went wrong mate.  If you want your computer to sleep allow it turn the device off.  If you don't the USB and other devices will prevent the computer from going to sleep cause the devices are in use by the computer cause you said "nope i don't want the computer to shut you guys off".

    I read the article about the update, but it does not have MoUsoCoreWorker.exe, the update is for UsoCoreWorker.exe.  There are articles on the MoUsoCoreWorker.exe.

    Hi EricFrendo-Cumbo, 

    thanks for the explanation. 

    I have gone back into the device manager and for every single device that has a power tab in its properties, I have now Checked both the box for both "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    Still no sleep :-[

    Is there anything else I can try ???
