    Hi A.Rao

    Thank you for your message. I was able to solve the problem with the help of the community. The reason was the contextual bar. As soon as I deactivated it, everything ran smoothly again.

    How many fonts do you've installed / activated?

    lots of fonts, more than 200, but why does InDesign 19.5 work so well and the updated version 20 doesn't?

      No idea, but in another thread, solution for someone was to remove all extra fonts. 

       

      Maybe you have duplicates - or damaged in a way that wasn't a problem for 19.5 but is the problem for 20?

      No problems for me.

       

      My suggestion: Restore your IinDesign preferences.  The easiest way is to go to Preferences > General. At the bottom of the panel, see the button and click. Then quit out of InDesign. When you open InDesign you will have restored your preferences.

        Hi @Federico Borsella,

         

        I understand how frustrating it can be when InDesign is running slowly after an upgrade. I recommend checking out this similar community post for insights: InDesign Performance Issues.

        Additionally, resetting your preferences can often resolve performance issues. You can find instructions on how to do this here: Reset InDesign Preferences.

         

        Please let us know if this helps or if you need further assistance!

         

        Best,

        Abhishek Rao
