    Computer is set to sleep after 15 mins of inactivity.

    It frequently does not sleep when it should. The only solution temporary that I have found it to pause updates for a while.


    Running `powercfg /requests` shows that it is because of MoUsoCoreWorker.exe


    Sort your stuff out Microsoft! Why is your own Update program so bugging causing my PC to stay awake.

    :)

    Should MoUsoCoreWorker.exe preventing sleep be ignored?

    I have seen several threads here complaining about this
    Code:
    I don't take that as something to get rid of but a warning that there is a problem with Windows updates

    I just got that and then went into Windows Update

    All seemed OK but based on past experience I knew there was something wrong with Windows Updates
    I then restarted the Windows Update service

    I then retried Windows Update again

    That showed there actually was a problem with Windows Update.

    If we configured Windows so that MoUsoCoreWorker.exe no longer prevented sleep how are we to know when there is a problem with Windows Update?

    In other words shouldn't we take this more seriously and listen to what Windows is telling us instead of trying to hide it?

    Windows will _sometimes_ not sleep - related to pending updates?

    oh ya, guess my wording wasnt correct above. it sleeps again after updating windows.

    so at this point a "pending install" in windows update prevents the computer from sleeping as that is the only thing that consistently changes and affects the sleep

    Update Preventing Windows Going into Sleep Mode

    There have been several reports of this in several TenForums threads. It does not only affect Version 1909.

    Run this command. It will list those items that tell Windows to stay awake no matter what.
    Code:
    If the response identifies MoUsoCoreWorker then it means that this update-related component is inhibiting sleep. Like many of us, you could inhibit it. Try mngerhold's solution in post #9 of another thread

    It worked for me.
