"You cannot reverse this change with the Edit > Undo command" Dialog Box launching randomly.

Over the last week or so everytime I launch InDesign I am met with the attached dialog box.

 

"You cannot reverse this change with the Edit > Undo command"

 

It is persistent and getting worse. It will now launch randomly whilst I'm working. It is making InDesign almost unusable and destroying my worklfow and concentration. How on earth can I stop this occuring? I've tried Resetting Warning Dialogs to no avail. I've seen this posted elsewhere without any solution. Can someone at Adobe please respond – its driving me nuts.

Correct answer DrMat

I had exactly this problem, I eventually unistalled InDesign including my preferences and then reinstalled, it seems to be working now - note unistalling and keeping preserences did not fix the problem

Hi leed,

I have seen that message when using a .inddc cloud document, but you don't mention what you are doing when this happens. If it really is popping up randomly, you might try resetting preferences (not resetting warning dialogs). There are four ways to approach resetting preferences, and this compendium of resetting/troubleshooting should guide you.
