Hi @Astonishing_developer2592, I'm just checking in to see if the suggestion helped or if you are still running into this issue?

If so, would you try clearing your cache and resetting your preferences? You can reset your preferences by holding down Alt and Shift (Windows) / Opt and Shift (Mac) while opening Lightroom. 

Let us know how things are going. Happy to keep troubleshooting with you if needed. Thanks! ^CH

Hi, thanks for reaching out! 

Please go to the Help menu in Lightroom, then System Info, and copy the text. You can share the info with us by either pasting it as a reply here or in a text file and sharing the file with us. 

Are you trying to export files to a folder on your computer's local storage or an external drive? What's the format that you're exporting the files in?

 

We're here to help, just need some more information to help figure this out. 
Thanks,
Nikunj
