Are you having problems with a process, such as usocoreworker.exe, usoclient.exe, or USO Core Worker Process, that appears in your Task Manager as MoUSO Core Worker Process? What it is and how to resolve the issue with it are explained in this article.
What is the ‘MoUSO Core Worker Process’ File?
The Microsoft process known as MoUSO Core Worker Process, also known as MoUSOCoreWorker.exe, aids the operating system in controlling the installation of Windows updates. Update Session Orchestrator is what it does, and the term “USO” in its name stands for that.
The MoUSO Core Worker Process can be to blame if your machine keeps waking up from sleep. The process can also consume too much CPU or disk space.
Problems caused due to MoUSO Core Worker Process
If you have not upgraded your system’s Windows to the current build, MoUsoCoreWorker.exe may cause your system to fail to sleep. Furthermore, corrupt/misconfigured power settings or conflicting third-party software (such as GoodSync) may be at blame for the issue in question.
Several people have raised the following concerns about this process:
- High CPU utilization.
- Disk use is high.
- Memory use is high.
- Excessive RAM consumption
We will first describe the method, and then we will verify its legitimacy. Following that, we’ll go over the 10 best methods to fix MoUSO Core Worker Process.
How to Disable or Fix it?
After checking the authenticity of the ‘MoUSO Core Worker Process,’ if you are certain it is a virus, we recommend removing it.
Solution 1: Installing the KB4568831 Update of Windows
The most common reason for the MoUSO Core Worker Process error is pending updates. If you are running Windows 10 version 1809 or later, we recommend installing the KB4568831 update of Windows 10 because it has resolved this issue for others.
- To begin, go to the ‘Start menu and select the ‘Settings option.
- Then, select the ‘Update & Security tab.
- If you are running Windows 10 version 1809 or later, click the ‘Check for update button to allow Windows to download the ‘KB4568831’ update.
Please keep in mind that your system will restart while the updates are installed. So, don’t be concerned.
If your system does not automatically download the ‘KB4568831’ update, we recommend utilizing the ‘Microsoft Update Catalog’ to manually download and install the update.
Once the update procedure is complete, determine whether or not this method worked for you.
Solution 2: Uninstall/Disable the Conflicting Applications
If any of your programs (particularly synchronizing applications) keep the MoUSO Core Worker Process busy, your machine may fail to sleep (which prevents the system from sleeping).
In this case, either deactivating or removing these programs may resolve the issue. GoodSync is a recognized source of the problem.
Step 1: Click the Windows button, then select Gear/Settings.
Step 2: Now, go to Apps and then GoodSync.
Step 3: Then click Uninstall and confirm that you want to uninstall GoodSync.
Step 4: Now, to remove GoodSync, simply follow the on-screen instructions. If you do not wish to delete GoodSync, deactivate its syncing activity (do not configure it to “On Schedule” or “Run without User Interface (Unattended)”) and exit it altogether. Uninstall/disable any other incompatible software as well.
Then restart your system and upon restart, check if your system’s MoUSO core processor issue is resolved.
Solution 3: Disabling Delivery Optimization
In this approach, we will stop ‘Delivery Optimization’ in Windows 10 through ‘Registry Editor’ because Windows 10 generally does not enable you to disable it.
Disabling it will not halt the updates, but it will minimize resource use because this technique has aided others.
Note: Microsoft implemented ‘Delivery Optimization’ with the Windows-10 Anniversary Update.
This feature enables users to receive updates from a previously downloaded local computer rather than straight from Microsoft. It decreases bandwidth, but it also poses a danger.
Solution 4: Update Windows of Your System to the Latest Build
Microsoft adds new features to Windows regularly (to keep up with the latest technical breakthroughs) and fixes issues via the Windows update channel caused by the MoUSO core processor.
You may get the issue if you are using an old version of Windows since this might cause incompatibility between apps and OS components.
