OBSERVED RESULT
the tyoes of files it allows me to save the document as is only one, .kra instead of other file types that allow me to export the drawing.

This must be a local problem. Maybe a virus scanner has removed some plugins, or something else prevents them from loading (even though even .kra is implemented as aplugin), but it's not something that happens for anyone else, nor something we can fix. Please try to reinstall or use the portable zip file version of Krita.
