@jpp72 and @Cats4U , Thank you for the rapid response. I believe the advice you gave me has solved the problem. Rebooting and restarting an app or program is the first thing I try for misbehaving software, before doing anything else. Initially, it didn't work. Two things MAY have contributed to my issue. 1. I was not starting StreamFab from the TSR running in the taskbar. After rebooting, I was restarting StreamFab from a shortcut on the desktop. This may have started a double instance of the program. 2. I had another copy of StreamFab running on another computer on the same network. While I have never had any trouble doing this before, I shut that copy down and started StreamFab from the task bar of my main computer after rebooting (again). Since I did both actions at the same time, I have no idea which (or both) could have ben the culprit. I had to log back into Peacock after the first episode downloaded, but other than that, things are running normally again. Again, Thank you for your help, and I appreciate the rapid reply.
Personally, I find that, when downloading from Peacock I have to keep the peacock tab under home as the focus or it will start failing after an episode or two. Damn thing will not stay logged in otherwise.

I found the same thing. Even keeping it as the focus tab, it still logs me out after an indeterminant amount of time.
After the (What I personally consider) the NFL extortion scam, the more limited content than the other streaming platforms and the fact that I keep getting auto-logged off, I decided to drop them. I went in to establish an account in the "Free Tier" for my parents so they could watch the NFL game, only to find that it no longer exists. Those that wanted to watch the "Streaming Only" game had to pay if they didn't know someone with an account. The few shows and movies that I watch was overwhelmed by my frustration and outrage. NFL games have usually been carried by one major network, or ESPN for free unless it's blacked out (or conflicts with another game). Watching Advertisers commercials during those games pays for this privilege. I pay for Peacock, and STILL had to put up with the commercials.
If something is streaming on Peacock that I want to watch, I believe I'll wait until the whole series airs, Sign up again then cancel after one month. I have until the end of this month to make a decision on those series that will not be completed. I have been a paying Peacock member for the past two years. No more.
Note: Thank you for putting up with my off topic rant. While I have been ranting, I was auto-logged out of Peacock twice more during that short period. (after every episode) It's the only streaming platform I have this trouble with, including Netflix, who was notorious for doing that. With Peacock, the "Keep me logged in" check box doesn't mean anything.
I guess if that's the worst I have to put up with, I'm still doing very well. A wonderful evening to you all. :D
