Question

Indesign 2020 cannot work with 2 files open

I have the latest version of Indesign and I am having issues while working with two indesign files open at once. One file open is fine but when I open a second file, Indesign says "Not responding" in the task manager, the whole program freezes and the only thing I can do is cancel the program from the task manager. I am running Windows 7 (my work laptops have yet to upgrade to Windows 10).

    I'm a Mac user but I believe InDesign 2020 needs Windows 10.

    I am a Mac user myself amd really dislike Windows for design work but that is what my company uses... 

    Funny you say that because we did a test on a Windows 10 system (in the near future we have to use windows 10 so were are testing it) and Indesign didn't even open! it crashed at every launch.

    Without the full system specs and the build number of Windows 10 as well as the Mac specs there is no way to make a comparison.

    That said, 2020 is supported under Windows 7 SP1.
