Hi,
What version of Windows 10 are you using?
Windows 10 Home?
Windows 10 Pro?
Windows 10 Enterprise?

Hi Thomas;
I'm using Win10 Pro. Is that significant?
And to make good on my promise to report back.....
I went to the church yesterday intending to try out all the suggestions offered up to the point of my previous post. Even though the account I use on the computer has administrator privileges I was not allowed to disable the Run Time Broker or when in PowerShell, allowed to uninstall any apps. The good news is it appears that SuperFetch was my problem because the CPU meter never left the first green line while idling for a couple of hours. Previously it would spike up to the highest red segment within 5 minutes of starting the organ even with no playing. Before playing yesterday I changed the audio buffer from 512 down to 256 and then the CPU meter only got up to like the 4th green segment. I'm very encouraged by this but will reserve final judgment until a few months of glitch free performance has taken place. I'm being cautious here because the glitching didn't start until the PC had been in service for a few weeks.
