Windows 10: PC will not sleep due to Scheduled Waketimer StartMenuExperienceHost.exe

My PC will not longer sleep or stay asleep. When I run the powercfg /waketimers command from the Command Prompt, I get thte following result:


C:\WINDOWS\system32>powercfg /waketimers
Timer set by [PROCESS] \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\StartMenuExperienceHost.exe expires at 10:48:05 PM on .


How do I deactivate this waketimer, or at least run it so it will clear and sleep again? THanks for your kind assistance.

Task scheduler password required to change waketimer

Hi, I've posted a link below to show what I am trying to do to stop a waketimer:

Task Scheduler wants password? :-(

My laptop recently woke up from hibernation - it's the first time it has happened on this computer,

the last time it happened I was able to stop it but Task scheduler wants a password to change settings for Windows update orchestrator, so is this impossible to change?
