Indesign 18.3 crashes on startup

Participant ,

So, that's what happens.
I know you are aware of it, but searching for maybe an answer, I see posts going back for years, with the same problem. I see CS6 posts! There might be something fundamentally wrong with the app, no?

I've reset preferences, and everything else I found searching the topic, nothing helps.
Anyway, uninstalling and switching to 18.1 let's me work. And that's what I am paying a lot of money for. This should not happen with a pro program like Indesign.

Hi,

Can you confirm the version of your operating system and the type of hardware you have (free space on the hard drive, graphics card, processor, RAM....)

Adobe knows of the issue and they are working on it, I read in another tread, while searching this. But they are working on it since CS6 or even earlier.And it always comes back. That's what worries me!
