Exported image drastically worse than what is shown on Lightroom

[Reece30283512xclq]

I have never had this issue before, then Adobe did an update to Lightroom and since the update my images look really good in the lightroom window but when I export them, they look absolutely trash and fuzzy. Tried changing from sRGB and so on, nothing works, its as if Adobe went, yeah screw him 🙂

Please go to Help>System Info… and provide us with your software's installed version number. 

It would be helpful to show the difference by including:

1.  Screenshot of your Edit Screen
2.  Screenshot of your Export Screen
3.  Actual file output.

Very evident in these images the quality is not the same at all. Lightroom was deleted and reinstalled to the latest version also.

You did not supply the three items I requested. Can you do this please?

Lightroom version: 7.2 x64 [ 20240214-0910-27200e9 ] (Feb 14 2024)

There you are.

If you are exporting as "Small", then I would expect some loss of detail.! "Small" will downsize the pixel dimensions in your exported file.

Try "Large"  or "Original" and test your results.

Tried this yesterday, no luck.

From the examples provided, it appears you are editing in HDR Mode  (without your Histogram visible, I can't confirm) and have exported in a format that doesn't support HDR, and you are viewing in Preview - an application (Preview) that may or may not be HDR aware depending upon your OS version and the file format chosen.

Yes it looks like its not exporting in HDR

but how would i get over this so i can export what i have actually created?

You would need to choose an HDR-friendly format (JXL, AVIF, TIFF) and make sure you mark the HDR option in the export dialog.  I would recommend AVIF for now as it is more widely accepted. Then you must use an HDR compatible viewer (Chrome Browser is a good example).
