InDesign 2025 SLOW

Yes, I confirm the problem. Indesign 2025 is extremely slow. With every click, every mouse movement, eas with text editing, the beach ball always comes! I work with the quick view so that it is halfway bearable. But this is not a solution in the long run. Rebuilt the preferences doesn't work for me! Should i now reinstall ID and waste my time for an Adobe Problem?!

PLEASE UPDATE SO THAT THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED, THANK YOU!!

It's the same for me, now I installed beta version 20.1 and it works much better

Same happening to me. Mac Studio M2 Max.

I have rebuilt preferences but the lag continues.. Impossible to work like this.

Hi @Bigwig9010380:

I'd start by rebuilding preferences:

If that doesn't work, I would just go back to the version you were working on before the update. It's usually a good idea not to update to a .0 release. Let someone else go through this pain and report the issues and update again after it the .1 release is out.

Also, you may not know this, but you can have more than one version installed on your computer. I keep old versions installed so I can answer questions on them here, but also because I delay moving my layout work to a new version until I'm convinced it will be stable.

Hi @bigwig8566560,

I completely understand your frustration with the slow performance of InDesign. It can be really challenging when the software doesn't run as smoothly as we expect. To assist you better, could you please share the version of InDesign you're currently using and details about your operating system?

Additionally, if possible, could you drop a screen recording demonstrating the issue? This can help us identify the problem more effectively.

In the meantime, I recommend checking out these helpful resources for tips on improving performance: Improving InDesign Performance and InDesign Slow Performance Solutions.

Thank you, and I'm here to help!

Best,
