Odd exported file

[srravi]

When exported the jpeg looks odd and there are squared of areas of unedited file?

Hi, thanks for reaching out! 

Looking at the image you shared, it looks like you applied Enhance > Denoise to it before exporting. Are you getting similar results with images you're exporting without Denoise? 

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

Thanks,
Nikunj

Thanks for the info! Go to the Edit menu in Lightroom, then Preferences, and select Performance from the left panel of the window. Set Use Graphics Processor to Custom and ensure that the option to Use GPU for Export is unchecked (see the attached screenshot). Once done, relaunch Lightroom and export the image again to check if that makes a difference. 

If it helps, try reinstalling the NVIDIA drivers from scratch (preferably the Studio drivers).

Thanks,
Nikunj
