InDesign 19.5 Hangs at Startup on MacOS Sonoma 14.5

[jeffyerkey]

All of a sudden, my Adobe InDesign hangs on App startup. I had been running InDesign fine on my Mac M2 Max Studio for months now, and today, it decided that it's had enough. I am on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 (latest version).

I've tried the following today, but after launching InDesign, It repeatedly hangs at "starting up panels." 

-- Removed the App preferences by Cmnd-Opt-Control-Shift launching

-- Deleted existing InDesign app using the CC app

-- Ran Cocktail 17.5 to run all the latest clean cache scripts

-- Reinstalled the latest version of InDesign (19.5.0.84) from the CC App

Still no joy. HELP!

Thanks Robert! I understand now, but the problem is I'm unable to get InDesign to open at all in order to get to that setting. (also, I'm on MacOS). I'm about to go through some of the troubleshooting steps listed on that second link you sent and see if that provides any solution before removing CC altogether.
