INDESIGN SELECTION TOOL NOT WORKING

I was searching like crazy for a solution to this very problem. I originally had my PC tablet connected to a monitor set to "extend." After finding this forum and telling my boyfriend about the problem, he suggested changing it to "duplicate." Once I did that, the problem was solved. Hope this helps. There's not much information out there on this, and apparently, it's a common thing.

Linda,

Many people are reporting that the latest Windows 11 patch update KB5050094 is causing this problem. Go to Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Update and find just the update KB5050094 and uninstall it. 

Welll Guys - I used the Cleaner Tool as advised - so NOW I try and move the type and the type block dissappers completely and if I try and move an imge the red circle appears like before - so it is actually worse!!

Version 20.1 - Windows 11

It only started after my last Windows update.

I have tried installling a previous version - also didn't help

Tried resetting Preferences as well.  I did that and it didn't work - I kept my fingers on the 3 keys for ages - all it asked me is if I wanted Indesign to allow to make a change to computer - and I said yes - and then Indesign just opened

What version of InDesign exactly - the latest I know you said - but doesn't tell us your actual version number

What OS? If it's Windows 24H2 - then try roll back that update - it has caused issues with other apps, not just adobe. 

Have you tried rolling back the InDesign update?

Here's some fixes that are common

-----------

Try resetting your preferences:

Windows: Start InDesign, and then press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
macOS: While pressing Shift+Option+Command+Control, start InDesign. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.

Reinstalling rarely fixes everything - you can do a complete reinstall using the

¡Hola! Tengo un error en el InDesing que no lo puedo solucionar. Trabajo con 2 pantallas con la opcion de Windows de "ampliar pantallas". En una de las dos pantallas (en la del monitor), cuando abro el InDesing y quiero mover los cuadros, imágenes o textos, el cursor queda por un lago y el objeto seleccionado por el otro. En cambio cuando utilizo la pantalla de la notebook, este error no aparece. 

Solo me pasa con el InDesing, porque cuando uso Photoshop o Illustrator no tengo ningun problema con el uso de la doble pantalla.

Ya probé todas las opciones pero el error persiste y necesito tener las dos pantallas y diseñar con el programa abierto en el monitor grande y no en la notebook. ¿Hay alguna otra opción? Muchas gracias!

I just got new monitors. I can use Indesign just fine on my laptop...however when I have Indesign dragged over to my external monitors, my selection tool won't move objects. It creates snippets on my desktop...

I can still use the arrow keys to move it around and it works on my laptop even when I'm plugged into the monitors. My settings are on extend not duplicate. I'm on a PC.
