Indesign 2021 keeps crashing on launch on mac

Question

Hi everyone,My Indesign 2021 won't open... it just keeps crashing on launch! I figured maybe I needed to update the OS on my mac which I have done (to the latest OS)... I even uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled and no joy. It has been crashing regularly (about 3/4 times a day for the last month), but now it just won't open at all... I have a pretty new mac as well and really need to get this resolved asap... Has anyone else had a similar issue and managed to resolve it? If anyone has any tips then that will be great.Thank you in advance
