InDesign 2023 utterly slow redraw

Alex, same for me, but I'm on a PC

new 7500 processor, only 16gig ddr5, but it was running 10x faster with a laptopn housing only 8gb!

for reflowing text, I found if I hit "SAVE" then it acts. Otherwise, it's inactive.

very frustrating, but I'm glad to read I'm not alone.

Thank you Steve and Anubhav for your hints and ideas! I have deleted cache and preferences but the problem persists: it boiled down not to RGB images or turned on preflight, but it occurs AFTER editing text in any document for the first time since it has been opened. Scrolling through the document is nearly impossible from then on: the rulers are moving, but the redraw takes loads of time, or isn't even being done at the correct position. Hm. Everything fine in ID 22.

I have read https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/slow-performance-indesign.html

also followed the tips there, but now improvement. The advice to not work on network drives gives me a little shivers, as InDesign is widely used in large companies that surely need to store everything on network drives. But what I am working on is actually stored locally :-))

Will continue using 22 for now.

Thanks and regards

Alex

Hello @alexanderh97394298,

Sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind trying the suggestions shared in this help article (https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/slow-performance-indesign.html) and checking if it helps?

If the issue persists, kindly share some more information, like the exact version of the OS/InDesign installed on your computer and a screen recording of the problem so we can investigate this further.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Sometimes, you need to restore your preferences after updating to a new version to get the new version to have better performance. I'd try this:
