Times New Roman TTF replaced with OTF in InDesign 21.0, causing missing font errors

All my books (several hundred) are formatted using the Times New Roman TTF font. The new version of InDesign 21.0 changes that to Times New Roman OTF.
Fortunately, version 20.0 is still installed. I know from experience that strange things can happen in updates.. However, the problem with the latest update has also been introduced in that version.
OTF is only available with a licence, which I do not have. 
I would appreciate some help.

    The same issue with my InDesign 20.5 / Windows 11. I installed Times New Roman from Adobe (https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/times-new-roman) and replaced the font in the document. It works perfectly now.

    Following the computer updating, I opened InDesign and a file I had been working on. All of the text in TR 12 pt reg and ital is not highlighted in a peach color--12 pt BF, 12 pt reg hypertext, and other TR font sizes plus all other fonts are unaffected. Example attached. Perhaps related (although this happens practically every time I open a file in InDesign) is the fact that it cannot find my fonts...TR is perhaps the most commonly-used of all. Any eye deer how to get rid of the highlighting? What's with the missing fonts? I haven't been moving stuff around myself.

    Sorry, I meant "...is NOW highlighted," not "is not highlighted"
