And I fixed it!!

After @engikeneer confirmed that it should work with no need to have the extra lines in the start g-code and @Arnold_R_Clark advising me to do a re-install and that didnt work it got me thinking, so i just did a system rollback in win10 to before i even downloaded PrusaSlicer.

I then went and checked in my appdata folders and i found a very old installation of PrusaSlicer from over 2 years ago, i must have tried it uninstalled and forgot, i used to run simplify3d before installing ideamaker.

deleted the old appdata files, ran a regedit scan using CC cleaner and that cleared out a pile of old broken registry files relating to PrusaSlicer and a reboot and re-install and it now works as @engikeneer said it should. it must have been windows being windows..

thanks to you both for helping me to fix this with the confirmation and the re-install ideas. i will mark it as a question and solved.

thank you again

And i just this minute got it to finally work

I Think i had a combination of issues, while messing about with M203 I had at some point set the max speed of the Z axis to 1800.00 instead of 180.00 and I hadn't noticed, that in conjunction with M566 being too set too high compounded the problem.

i have managed to get it working with the following

M203 Z180.00 ; set maximum speeds (mm/min)
M566 Z10 ; set maximum instantaneous speed changes (mm/min)
M350 Z32 ; configure microstepping
M92 Z 6400 ; set steps per mm
M201 Z20 ; set accelerations (mm/s^2)
M906 Z2000 ; set motor currents (mA)

Thank you to everyone for their input i will mark this as solved
