What was the actual problem? Could you fix it with the above approach?

Since OP was mentioning that electrum is taking forever to synchronise:

And regarding this answer:

Close your wallet, open the Electrum folder (%appdata%\Electrum) and delete (or rename) the blockchain_headers file. Then, just open Electrum again and wait for it to synchronize.

All sorted thank you!!

It seems like electrum somehow messed up (file corruption, whatever..) and was not able to properly synchronise the header.
In this case, yes. TryNinja's answer should (and obviously also did) help fixing this problem.

Go to network settings in electrum and uncheck "select server automatically" and start picking other servers to connect to - I think it's in preferences.

Does it say a balance at the bottom of the window, synchronising or not connected?

It says synchronising

What's your internet speed, you can test it here → speedtest.net
How long has it been stuck on synchronising for, if it's been more than half an hour/a few hours, recover the wallet from seed instead and see if it works any better.

Is this your first transaction in electrum?

It says synchronising

Let it synchronise then.
It shouldn't take time to download the block headers, depends on your internet connection, or the server you're connected to.
Either check your internet connection, or connect to a different server.

It’s been synchronising all night tho?? What server shall I connect to?? Sorry I am new this is

And to add on to that (confirming that your wallet is connected with the green button on bottom right corner and synced), are you even sure your Electrum wallet is indeed the one with the receiving address listed in that tx id? ie. is this address 1JGxXvHjDjWetnQm7qu5uMKScVcYncJozL listed in your Addresses tab in the wallet?

Here is the transaction. As you can see it’s been confirmed but it’s still not confirmed in my electrum wallet. It’s shows with three clogs next to it where my test transaction is confirmed with a green tick
