Windows 10: OCCASIONAL slow saves

My desktop is a Dell XPS 8920 with an Intel i7-7700K processor with 8M Cache, up to 3.6 GHz. 15GB memory, 2400MHz, DDR4. 256GB M.2 PCle x4 SS drive + 2TB 7200 rpm HDD.

Save times are USUALLY sub-second. I've had this system for a couple of years, and this issue started a few months ago. Ocasionally, local saves usually Excel from Office 2013 or Quicken 2017, maybe one in ten saves, will clock my system for 30 seconds or more. There is no in-between. Either it's the usual sub-second, or it's 30-60 seconds, with the "non-responsive" notification while I wait. Eventually, without fail, the save or open completes. During the super-slow saves I'll sometimes open Task Manager, but never find anything clogging CPU, memory, disk, or network. I have a screaming fast system, wonderful for all my multitasking needs. This is the ONLY issue I've had with response times. It "hits" maybe one in 8 or 10 saves. What else can I check, since this is an intermittent issue?
