Try this for starters and see if that fixes the problem.

If that does not work, try the other google suggestions.

Lenovo has (or had) quite a good update manager for it's own firmware updates, have you installed that? If so, do a scan and find out if there are any critical Lenovo updates to install.

Thanks to Hoofhearted & Buglawson, I tried the fixes but none worked so spent most of Boxing day and today trying to fix it. Turns out that bloatware on the system was the problem and "switched" of Nalperion(found in Services-local), removed Nitropro which was linked to this too. Just have to resolve one little update that the machine still doesn't like but will leave that till another day as I am all laptopped out !! Thanks and hopefully my post may help someone else Merry Christmas
