OK, In power settings, I ended up using "never" on " put computer to sleep when inactive" "put display to sleep when inactive" (On AC power) and " put computer to sleep when inactive"(On Battery power). So far that seems to have improved the situation (although far from a satisfactory solution, as has already been mentioned). We'll see just how much that helps.
