P: Desktop: Creating Duplicates Upon Saving

Hoping this makes sense!

Almost every time I export/save photos from CC, the program will begin the process, then stop halfway through and restart... which then duplicates the file.

For example, I tried exporting an album of 80 high res images yesterday afternoon, which I walked away from...and four hours later,came back to the program STILL exporting, and I had SEVEN copies of about 3/4ths of the images from the album.

If its user error, for the love of goodness, please correct me.
If its a problem with CC, how would I go about fixing it? I've switched computers, uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted my computer.... nothing seems to fix it!

Please help! Exporting weddings is a frikin NIGHTMARE.

Currently on 3.4 still continuously having the same problem. Beyond frustrated that this has gone on for literally years and I've paid $15-20/m

Try again... Lightroom is up to date. No update today that I'm aware of, Creative Cloud is up to date and this literally just happened twice in a row while exporting a wedding.

I've been dealing with this for months if not a year. CC is up to date. What's the status? It's been 3 months since any updates and this is not resolved.

Lightroom is currently on version 3.3. If you are using 1.5 you would need to update.

Still a problem in windows 10, Lightroom CC 1.5.

Trying to export 108 photos, takes several hours to export 20 photos and half of them are duplicates.
