Yes it is there in Activity Monitor. What is the next step?

If you double-click on it, a window will pop open to give you more info. It will also allow you to quit the service. After quitting it, you should be able to sleep. But it's better to see what's using it.

Read these links. Quit coreaudio and now I get:

PreventUserIdleSystemSleep named: "Handoff"

Apparently, this has something to do with sharing and whatever goes on between iPhone, iPad and the MacBook Pro?

Please post your EFI folder.

Sorry for being such a noob, but can you tell me how I would do that considering that I can't boot up into macOS anymore? Here are my current boot flags in Clover:

dart=0 nvda_drv=1 nv_disable=1 -disablegfxfirmware -lilubetaall -igfxbeta -alcbeta -ngfxbeta -shikigva=60

Thanks!

Can you boot using your Unibeast installer?

No, even that gets stuck on the loading screen. Attached is a photo of the screen where it gets stuck.

Are you choosing the correct boot Order in BIOS?

It's normal for Handoff to show preventidlesleep. It won't prevent sleep unless something is wrong.

You can also disable Handoff to test sleep.

Try booting in safe mode or single user mode.
