Windows 10: one of my PC stopped sleep, wmpnetwk.exe?

I have done nothing with WMP, so why is it now showing up?
Code:

- - - Updated - - -

I opened services, and stopped it, windows media network sharing, then set to manual from automatic.

Question is why did it start running?
I have noticed it is hard to keep PC's sleeping. I also turned off maintenance being allowed to wake PC

- - - Updated - - -

I marked solved as turning off that service allowed it to sleep on its timer. But still dont have a clue about why WMP did that,

:)
