InDesign 2020 Slow Performance

Hi,

I've been having problems with inDesign for the past few months. Everything is a second or so behind... Everytime I move an image or or text box there is a lag of around half a second. The hand tool and zoom tool are also extremely jumpy. I'm aslo getting a spinning wheel for very simple tasks.

This problem seemed to come out of no-where, I have a very powerful machine (spec below) and have other users in the studio running the same version of indesign with no problems at all.

I've tried the following:

Working offline
Restarting in safe mode
Reinstalling software
Turning anti virus off

Any help would be greatly appreciated as neither myself or our IT support can figure this out

Cheers

Liam

Correct answer ._Liam_.

Morning all,

Thanks for all of your replys over the last year. I finally found a solution to this problem!

After reading through the comments, I noticed a few people had success changing the colour profile from their monitor to Apple RGB or Colour LCD. This didnt work for me when I initially tried it, but after trying out a few more colour options today I found one that works (sRGB IEC61966-2.1). Changing to this colour setting (in preferences/Display) instantly changed inDesign from being laggy and jumpy to smooth and responsive.

FYI Im using a Mac Pro with an LG ultra fine display.

Thank again

Liam
