Okay so for some reason I could not download the .bat file, every browser on my PC would not allow it (firefox, chrome, edge, internet explorer), and all had either a network error message or a download failed notification. I tried disabling my Antivirus and firewall but it still didn't work. I suspect it must be something to do with my router, although I couldn't figure out what setting could be causing that.
I resorted to downloading the purge.bat on my phone using my mobile internet connection and then transferring it to my PC...and after running, restarting and re-installing the latest version it's now fixed and working perfectly! I can finally see the highlighted item text!
Thank you for all your help
