You might need to reset preferences or reset a little deeper. Here is some guidance.

Assuming you have the correct system specs, including plenty of RAM and spare hard disk capacity, it might be worth uninstalling InDesign via the Creative Cloud app. If it still crashes after reinstalling the application use the Adobe Cleaner Tool to uninstall InDesign https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
