My computer updated to Windows 11 two weeks ago and working in InDesign has become a nightmare of sluggish performance and a ton of aggrivation.

From what I have read, this is now part of the Adobe creative suite.

I reset the preferences and nothing.

I have the right memory and equipment to run InDesign 64bit, so it is not my system.

Why has Adobe abandoned it's users?

What version of InDesign are you using? If it is not the latest version (v 19.5) then try updating it. When you do the update I would suggest resetting the preferences one more time. Using preferences from an older version can also lead to poor program performance.

Everything updated. Everything. It's not my system.

Are you using any third party plug-ins with your InDesign? If so try disabling them and see if performance improves.
