Windows 10: Windows 10 OS not going into sleep mode

It's amazing in the last 3-4 years I have had intermittent problems with various computers unable to enter sleep mode for a variety of reasons. It's astonishing to think that MS is unable to solve this problem. Up to yesterday when it had been working fine for a stretch I noticed again yesterday mysteriously my sleep settings had been changed and tonight I find my computer awake, though I hadn't turned even turned it back on since yesterday. And when I run powercfg I find good ol MoUsoCoreWorker.exe to be once again the culprit.

Windows 10 in 2021 still isn't able to get the basics right. As a user you have the right to expect to set simple sleep settings and for the OS to be able to obey this simple requirement. But no, I find this so frustrating it seems they are unable to manage W10 project, maybe the whole W10 has just got too complex for them.
I'm seeing so many people with this problem. Just Google and you will find plenty of IT proficient users who have spent hours trying to sort this out and either not resolving it, or having the problem reappear somewhere down the line.

I don't want suggested solutions I can find my own thanks. As for the MS community forums, well they are often a joke in the quality of the responses and I try and avoid them like the plague.

I guess I just wanted to vent my frustration.

Windows 10 PC will not go into sleep mode

My new Windows 10 pc set to go into sleep mode after 2 hours and it doesn't happen - I can put into sleep mode manually but often it comes out of sleep by itself. I have tried all of the suggestions and have had no luck.

Computer stopped going into sleep mode

Hello, Kiran.

My computer is up to date and I didn't change any settings prior or after the update

I tried step one, but I haven't wait the time required for the computer to go into sleep mode. I did change the 30 minute wait to 10 minutes. So, I'll wait and see what happens
