All in design files damaged

I updated my imac yesterday to Mac OS Ventura. After this, all my indesign files are damaged. I can open them and resave them on another computer, but even the resaved version is coming up as damaged on my computer. I've tried opening it with indesign 3022 and 2023

Any help would be appreciated as this has been months of work lost and I need to get these files working asap. Thank you

Why do you think your INDD files are damaged?

Your screenshot suggests that you have a hardware related problem with MacOS Ventura/GPU.

So I think Peters post shows the right direction.

Because when I try to resave it, the attached screenshot appears.

Does this also happen when you create a new document and try to save this new file?

Are your "damaged" files stored locally or on a network share?

If on a network share then try to copy the files to your Mac and open them locally.

Does the problem persist?

Yes, unfortunately this didn't make a difference.

You should always check the requirements before updating

I just checked if Indesign should work with Mac OS Ventura and this is what I saw. Is this what you mean?

I have Indesign 18 and it still opens as a damaged file
