Computer with Windows 10 64-Bit OS (19041.264) Will Not Stay Asleep

[gbeepster 351]

I've a new computer that I built that's running Windows 10 64-bit (Pro) with a 19041.264 Build of the OS. Sometimes, the computer will go to sleep based on the sleep settings that I've set or via being put to sleep with the key combination Windows key-X-U-S and will stay asleep for extended periods of time until I wake it. On other occasions, like today, the computer will only go to sleep for short periods of time and then will wake, go back to sleep, and then wake again after a short sleep period and the cycle repeats. Today, the computer has awakened 27 times and has only stayed asleep for typically 11 minutes and 2-6 seconds. It has awakened like clockwork during these episodes. See the table below which I pasted in from my powercfg system sleep diagnostics report.


What is going on here? What do I need to do to prevent these frequent wake cycles? The culprit appears to be MoUsoCoreWorker.exe, a Microsoft executable. What can I do to prevent CoreWorker from continually and annoyingly waking the computer? Why does the computer stay asleep for hours at a time yesterday (2020.06.07) where it woke only 4 times, yet wake 27 times today staying asleep only ~11 minutes each time?


Note: I don't think it's software updates, because I check for software updates frequently.
