Kent,

So I changed the display timeout to 2 hours and the sleep setting to NEVER, when the laptop is plugged in to AC power. I also changed the HDD setting to not turn off for 120 minutes, and made sure the USB power settings are disabled per Matt's suggestions. I had previously changed the CPU power settings to 100% for both min and max states.

I ran the Jukebox for around 2 hours, and did not appear to hear any stutters, so at least for this test, the system behaved OK. I did not find any power-related system events logged into the Event Viewer during this 2 hour period that might be suspect.

It doesn't mean the issue is totally fixed (this is Windows remember), but I will continue to monitor the laptop's operation.

I found a good Windows 10 tweaking article online:

I think this comes from AVID talking about Protools.
