I'm creating artwork in a CMYK colour space, I then export for screens to get multiple pdf files (with my workplaces profile embeded). When i reopen these files to check them, they are RGB. what is causing this? it's incredibly frustrating, imagine it's just a button i'm pressing or missing. Thanks in advance.

There were issues with Export for screens and saving PDFs in certain versions. Which version are you using?

How do you check them and what PDF Preset are you using?

To check another member of the team opens up the files to preflight really and we are noticing the files at this point are now RGB.

Screenshots attached.

Thank you for replying and trying to help me.

Works fine for me with 27.5, but I first needed to create a PDF preset like yours but without the / and : characters in the name to be able to choose it in Export for Screens.
