InDesignCC2018 acts like it's opening a file but nothing appears. When I quit ID it asks me to save the file I can't see. I've done a restart while holding down shift/control/option/command and I've used the uninstall repair. It worked for a few minutes then crashed.

Which OS?

Does InDesign crash on all documents or just this one?

Is "uninstall repair" Adobe Cleaner?

It may well be that Indesign tries to recover a buggy file...
