Just in way of an update, I uninstalled McAfee and have had no issues since (with just Defender and Malwarebytes running). I will try a re-install of McAfee tomorrow, in case it was some corruption in that software but if the problem restarts I will look for an alternative

We are glad to hear your issue has been resolved, thank you for letting us know that all is now well!
I have come back to update this as I believe I finally isolated the problem.
After a few days running without McAfee installed and with no problems, I re-installed it. The problems started again.
So now I have replaced my McAfee antivirus with BitDefender and have experienced no issues since.
I hope that may be useful to anyone else who experiences similar issues.
