What I had to do was - Go to Settings, type "Controlled folder access" which took me to the Windows Defender Security Centre/Ransomware protection/Controlled folder access. Switch to "Off"
Thank you Zero01!!!!!
This worked for me as well. Windows 10 (64). I initially couldnt save ANY pictures till I excluded Gimp in Defender, and then I could save but not export. Then I turned off Ransomeware protection in Defender. As soon as I switched it off I could export my image!
