Blue circle keeps spinning at the top of the document

Question

I don’t know when this started or what caused it.

When I open my document the blue wheel at the top keeps spinning constantly.

After I click on the blue wheel another box opens titled Background Tasks and displays Adding Font and a blue line going back and forth to the right of the font name Times New Roman Regular.

It does the constantly.

What is this and how do I get it to stop.

I have attached and image to show what I am talkign about.

Times New Roman cannot be deleted because it is a system font. I am having the same issue as the writer, I have uninstalled InDesign and reinstalled it but I keep having font issues and freezing episodes.

I wanted to do a followup on my issue.

I was able to get this resolved. I found the font that was trying to load in one of my master pages.

Once I removed that font the issue went away.

I had never thought to check my master pages.

I’m having the same issue. It’s trying to load Times New Roman. But I don’t use TNR, never have. (It’s illegal/copyright infringement, if you’re using system fonts to write and publish books). Anyway, that font is not in my document anywhere. Still, the blue circle grinding. I have closed out of Adobe products, CC, ID, rebooted, cleaned my caches. Nothing works. Any other suggestions?
