I have installed Lyx recently. I was able to create a pdf file earlier, but it was giving errors like article.cls file does not exist. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled MikTeX and installed a lot of packages on MikTeX using Admin console. Now, in Lyx it is not giving any error. I have created a document in Lyx. I want the pdf version. If I am exporting as text file or word doc, it's exporting perfectly, but when exporting as pdflatex, it's giving timeout. Please help how to resolve this issue.

I can see following log

The external program

I have uninstalled and installed Lyx again. It's again giving error document class article.cls is not found. But it is able to create the pdflatex documents. So going ahead with ignoring the frequent error, as it is serving my purpose.
