Extra prompt screen on Export

Community Beginner ,
Nov 20, 2025 Nov 20, 2025

Suddenly i am receiving a 2nd prompt screen when Exporting a photo to disk. As far as i know i have not changed any settings. The first screen has "Export To: Hard Drive" and "Export To: Specific Folder" with a valid folder selected. When i click Export a Windows File Explorer window appears with the proper folder already selected and i simply need to hit "Select Folder" to continue. Anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in advance.

 

Windows 10

Most current version of Lightroom Classic

Hi, thanks for reaching out! 

I'm not seeing this on my Windows 10 machine. You normally get the prompt again if Lightroom Classic is not able to find the folder you're trying to export to in the location. You can try to reselect the folder under the Specific folder to check if that makes a difference. 


Thanks,
Nikunj

"The first screen has "Export To: Hard Drive" and "Export To: Specific Folder" with a valid folder selected."

 

In the Export window, click Choose and navigate to a different folder:

Does that work?

Thank you for your response. Both you and John below are correct - simply re-selecting the folder to export to (even though it was clearly already selected) resolved the issue. Much thanks to you both for your help.
