Mac freezes after a few seconds with InDesign!

Question

Hello, I have a problem with Indesign (18.1) on my Mac Book Pro (Ventura 13.1). I have downloaded several Adobe apps however the problems only show up when using Indesign. I can always open the program properly but the edit box always freezes after a few seconds no matter if I just put a stroke or insert an image. Sometimes the edit box also partially colors. I can click on the tools and settings outside the editing area, but I can't use them properly. To continue working I have to close and reopen the project. Nonetheless, it freezes again afterwards. I have already uninstalled the app as well as my Creative Cloud, reinstalled it and removed the default settings. The problems have not gone away.

Maybe someone can help me out.
Kind regards
Maibrit

I'd suggest restoring your InDesign preferences and caches. This often solves problems after an update. (Reinstalling an application doesn't do this.) Here's how:
