Whenever I try to export a map as an PNG image I get the 'successfully export' message but there is no file generated. The error happened in Zanzibar so I changed to Noosa but I still can't export the map.

It has never happened to me before so I guess it might be a problem with my system.

Does anybody have any idea of what is happening?

    Also, some more side-info would be of benefit: type of map and layers (for example: are all layers physical files on your computer or are they obtained via web services?), where (path) you are trying to save the PNG, etc.

    Here's some basic troubleshooting you can do: 1. Export to a different folder, preferably one with a short file path without spaces. 2. Reduce the DPI/image quality/resolution of the output. 3. Create a blank project, make a map with a single vector layer that you have physically stored on your computer, see if you can export that. 4. Do the same as 3, but with a raster layer. Update your answer and let us know which, if any, of those methods lets you export a map. This will help narrow down where the problem lies.

In the Layout, right click on the page and choose "Page Properties...". In the side panel "Item Properties", make sure "Exclude page from exports" is unticked.
