I am using a MacBook Pro. 
macOS Sonoma Version 14.4
All apps are up to date.
InDesign crashes on launch. I have restarted. I have uninstalled and installed InDesign 2024 twice. I have emptied the Library Cache of all InDesign files.
Nothing works. 
Any help will be appreciated.

Maybe try "nuclear option" - but first read about all other options:

 

https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/reset-indesign-preferences-and-other-troubleshooting/m-p/11990234

 

Reset with the nuclear option (4)

If that does not help either, uninstall the application using the CC Cleaner tool and reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

I opened InDesign and deleted all the Preferences. It then opened but 20 minutes after working, it crashed again. I reopened it and it worked. Then carried on working and 35 minutes later it crashed again. This time it would not open and I forced it open without the Preferences again. Something seriously wrong with my system and InDesign.
