iMac screen goes to sleep and wakes up right away

Hello, after the latest update (Catalina version 10.15.4 (19E287)), my iMac won't go to sleep. If I select "sleep", the screen goes black for a couple of seconds and then it turns back on.

I checked all the energy settings and they are correct, I followed also the steps for the SMC reset.

No luck.

Any ideas what prevents the computer from sleeping?

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)


Thank you

M

Workable but harder for me to work with...the Note tool on the bottom of this editor's toolbar, as shown in the image, to copy and paste the output from EtreCheck.
