What is the best AV out there then?

Windows defender is excellent.

The best is probably Bitdefender.

Ok thanks. I will look into bitdefender. Bullguard trial came with the build.

Yeah, bullguard can cause issues and isn’t that great at detection, better to uninstall it.

Thanks so much for your help. Managed to run both chkdsk /f and /r which ran on boot up. Should I have got a message with any information?

Chkdsk does produce output but whether or not it finds and fixes problems is just one line at the end and easy to miss. If you've not seen any errors then it was likely fine.

BTW. The /f switch checks and fixes errors in the Windows filesystem, you can run this on SSDs and HDDs. The /r switch checks and fixes errors in the Windows filesystem and on the disk surface, this only does anything useful on HDDs. I don't believe that the /r switch does any harm on an SSD but it certainly doesn't do anything useful.

It has been a long time since I ran a chkdsk but you used to be able to view the results in Windows Event Viewer.

Try this:

1. Click the start button (Windows Icon, bottom left)
2. Type eventvwr
3. Click on Event Viewer.
4. In the Event Viewer expand the Windows Logs
5. Select the Application log.
6. Right Click the Application log and select Find
7. Type wininit in the box and click Find Next
8. In the middle pane click the Source/wininit line that is found.
9. In the bottom pane, you should see the complete log for the latest Check Disk (CHKDSK).

Yup it still posts to the Windows Event Viewer:
