When I open the latest Indesign (15.0) I get this screen. How do I get rid of it?

Ian, I'm assuming you've solved your problem by now. If not, this is where you'll find the fix to your problem.

Under "Window" column in InDesign you need to DESELECT "Application Frame" (at bottom of list, just above any current file you may have open). Hopefully, this helps someone else that's going nuts over this stupid frame.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. I never would have looked there. Which is probably why they put it there.

    Edit > Preferences > General

    Uncheck the first choice, Show home screen when no documents are open.

    Thank you Bob for your help but I'm afraid I have that unchecked. I have also tried checking and unchecking the other one--Use legacy new document..

    The old delete preferences fixed it.
