InDesign 2026 Freezing on macOS Tahoe and Unable to Launch App

Currently on a mac running Tahoe 26.0.1. I'm having freezing issues for InDesign version 21.0.1 and 20.5.1. I've restarted my compture, uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared the cache upwards of 50 times. It'll occassionally work and then get stuck in an endless loop of being frozen forcing me to Force Quit.

 

This is supremely frustrating as I use InDesign primarily for 99% of all my projects. This issue has been ongoing for weeks.  HELP!

Did the problem start after upgrading to Tahoe? Also, how much RAM do you have?

P.S. Also, update to the current version of Tahoe - 26.1 - will it make a difference?
