I have the InDesign 20 and everytime I try to move a table, it crashes completly. I have no idea what is happening, the document is not that big.
Yes, I tried to clean the preferences, Reinstall, I don't have any plugins, it is update in my windows 11, my computer is good enough. I can't see any way to run this app. Can somebody help me? Thank you.

Have you updated to 20.1?

As @Mike Witherell suggested - try IDMLing to fix your document.

Sometimes tables can become corrupt, I did a lot of table work in a previous job about 10-15 years ago - and I remember sometimes tables would become unstable - only solution was to extract the table and recreate it.

If it is only happening in the one document, it might be a corrupt document. Many folks try this remedy: export the InDesign document out to IDML. Then, re-open the IDML and Save-As to a new filename. This might cure the corruption. After, try to move the table and see if it is still crashing.

Also, you might consult this long list of a troubleshooting compendium.

It happens with more than one document, but not all of them from my book. Sometimes it is just with one table, sometimes with more than one. Changing to IDML didn't resolve the problem 😞 but thank you answering everyone.

Corrupted / duplicated font might be a problem.

Some people report problems after the latest Windows 11 update.
