LR Classic turning images pink toned on export

I'm using LR Classic via the $10 month subscription. When I go to export a batch of images, it's turning them all pink toned, despite the color balance being good before export.  I'm assuming somehow, somewhere an export preset has been created that shifts the white balance/color balance.  Where would I find this export preset and how can I get rid of it? I've tried exporting with a couple of my own different previously created presets, and same thing happens: pink tone. Thanks!

    There are no default export presets and you can't make an export preset that can control the color of an image being exported.

    If you are exporting as Original none of the develop adjustments you have done are being included.

    If you look at the exported image in LR does it have the pink tone.

    First of all, please tell us what OS you are using, and what application you are viewing the exported images in.

    Screenshots of the image in Lightroom and the exported image will also be helpful.

    Also let us know what color space you are using in the Export dialog under File settings > Color space.

    I have Windows 10.  I use two NEC monitors, one of which was calibrated 2 days ago with the monitors Spectraview software and device. The other NEC monitor does support Spectraview calibration, but I may switch it out with a 3rd NEC I have that can be calibrated.  When I look at the images in LR after using Develop tools, the wb/color tone is good. I then export the images as is/original to a dropbox folder where in windows explorer they show up pink toned. I'm looking at the images on just the one monitor in both LR and Explorer.
