InDesign 20.4 CC library keeps freezing

I have to quit out of InDesign and reopen. The library will work for a little while and then stop working again. Can't select anything, can't scroll, can't drag items to my workboard. This only started happening when I upgraded InDesign yesterday.

I have found if on start up you open a blank document and not use, then just open new or other documents then the libraries don't freeze.

Does Adobe test any of their product before sending them out? Or are we the testers... then, it takes forever to get fixed.  I have so many annoying bugs I have to contantly work around.   

1. Like this person says, my Libraires only work when I reboot InDesign
2. When I have photoshop open, then i click the artboard, to moves photshop behind all my other open windows, even if it's selected.  

I got more, but right now, i would like those to just get fixed..... PLEASE!   Someday!

I am have the exact same problem! Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Now I need to restart Indesign 5 times a day.

I am having the same problem as well, sorry I can't offer any support but hoping if enough of us post Adobe will adress the issue.

I am having the same issue for the past month or so. IT here have been trying to figure it out for the past 2 days. Nothing fixes the problem. Really annoying.

This answer does not help. My apps do not freeze at launch. My CC libraries freeze in InDesign and I have to relaunch the app in order to get it to unfreeze only for it to freeze again.

I am having exactly the same problem since updating! All works fine on the first document after start up then the library freezes!
