Problems with opening InDesign files and InDesign on my computer

Hello,

 

My computer has some problems with opening inDesign especially when I'm working from home.

I've tried to look if it's because I don't have enough space on my computer or if it's the internet.

But everything is fine.

The only other problems I have is to get on my VPN, so I can get access to my OneDrive and all that. Do any of you have the same problems? As is it because of the VPN?

I even tried to uninstall InDesign and install it again and I don't have the same problems with Photoshop or Illustrator.

 

Best regards,

Line

So what is happening whn you try to open a file? What error messages do you get?

Is InDesign installed on your home computer, or are you trying to run a remote version over the VPN?

There's no error. It just doesn't want to open or work. It freeces all the time.

    My files is both on my PC and OneDrive drives syncronised with Teams files. 
    My VPN is something the IT department made for us with focus on security. The VPN is called Paloalto.

    My computers name is ThinkPad T14S and i use the newest updated inDesign version. And I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise and I can have 16 GB on my PC.
