Missing adjustments when exporting to DXO Pure Raw

I got a problem exporting to DXO Pure Raw from LRC. After doing the major adjustments I select Pure Raw as plug-in or right click and export the Raw (edited) file to denoise and corrections on DXO Pure Raw. Since yesterday the file previewed is missing any adjustments I had made on LRC. No matter what settings I change on Pure Raw, the preview update is instantaneous because nothing is actually happening with the file. I did test with Topaz Denoise and it's working. I did reinstall DXO Pure Raw as well as LRC and nothing changed. I install bothe softwares in another computer and the problem persists so I assume it's not defective but some settings that I may have changed involuntarily that caused this. At same time I imagine that installing the softwares again would set the parameters as default but like I said, nothing changed, the problem remains. I don't find any similar issue reported but I hope someone has an idea about it.

As far as I know, PureRAW opens the original raw file. As Lightroom does not alter the original raw file when it makes edits, what you see sounds as expected. I would expect that the DxO manual will tell you that you must use PureRAW before you make any edits in Lightroom for exactly this reason, but as I am not a PureRAW user I cannot be sure about that (I did test the first version when it came out and I'm pretty sure the workflow was like I said).

Thanks for the input. But let me clarify, the file on LR is still in RAW format, all the changes are written in separate file since LRC is non destructive, but it will be carry on when you export to DXO. Doing it before is recommended as good practice because some adjustments like lens distortion and denoise will be applied before and prevent LRC from donit again. The other way around, LRC first and then export to DXO works as well. The point is, neither the previous adjustments on LRC are being carried to DXO, nor DXO seems to be doing corrections at all. My normal workflow was always make editings in LRC, export to DXO as Raw file, do the denoise and lens corrections and back to Lightroom as a JPG to crop and that's the final product. Now, nothing is happening, DXO usually took me a about a minute to update image preview and a few more to process the image and export back to the default DXO collection in LRC. Now this whole process is "instantaneous" and nothing is done to the file.

@theo_5448 , See the attached link for the DXO PureRaw user guide.

From what I can tell it's best to use LrC as your Data file management an select the Raw files you wish to process in DXO in the Library module an go to menu bar and select File >Plug-in Extras > DXO PureRaw and the raw image will open in the DXO Plug-in where you can do your editing. When you save the completed work image it will be available in LrC Library module.
