Indesign CC June 2015 update is seriously slow - HELP!

If I trash my preferences every day it's fine. Reverting back today – this is silly.

35 seconds before even the 'whirling pizza' disappears and I can actually save or export a file. This is just not good for production. Gone back to 2014 version. Haven't got time to muck about with this any more. My advice is to use previous version.

My work PC is a $13,000 beast with solid state drives and all.

And InDesign pathetically lags. Almost crippling and very difficult to work with. Copy and paste has a 5-10 seconds delay.

In my endless searching, I've found that if you hit TAB to hide all open panels, InDesign then flies. But it's not a practical solution. I need panels open and can't work using keyboard shortcuts alone.

So the problem has something to do with open panels.

Was fine after the change to the file handling, now it's back to SLOW GO. Not sure what it's looking for in the background, but it's definitely looking for something. Oh yeah, and the file I was testing it on this morning is only 2.3mb and flew yesterday.

I am having exactly the same problem and its driving me nuts! This is the last time I update InDesign to a new version.

Attempting changing the "recent files" to "0" to see if that helps. Will report back.

I was having terrible problems with an extremely slow file also. I received an update for indesign 2015 today -- 8/11/15. It looks like it's working. I was on the phone with an Adobe tech person for a long time earlier today. She decided that my file was too large (27MB). I don't understand why I wasn't told this patch was coming out, or why I can't find it announced anywhere on the internet either.

I'm having same problem only mine is REALLY odd. When I mouse over the "FILE" Menu the beachball comes up and spins for several seconds. Then stops. I can hover over any other menu bar item with no problem it's only "FILE" menu. The keyboard commands will bring up the dialog boxes but that's a PITA. Everything else is working ok.

Things were fine up till today - I upgraded to 2015 earlier this year (whenever it came out) today I find there are new updates to all programs. Like others Photoshop and Illustrator are working fine.

I am  having the exact issue.  I am ON DEADLINE and i keep getting the freaking swirly beach ball for EVERY MOVE.

Hey guys,

I've been having very similar issues. it's the lagging thats most frustrating! Anyway, just a thought, and I know this was actually a solution to an Illistrator 2014 issue. So thought I might give it a try. Don't know if any of you are using Spotify, but I have, and it doe seem to make a bit of a difference if I kill spotify. The lag doesn't appear to be nearly as bad. Might be worth a try!? Can anyone (who has time) check this out properly for me??

Anyway, hope this gets a solve soon! As it is a little irritating! Interestingly, my colluege isn't having this problem, and he's running the exact same updates and computer as me.

Hello everyone

I had the same problem. I contacted the Adobe chat and so far settled the matter. try this:

1-Go back to Library in your account

2-Go to Caches

3-Go to Abobe InDesign

4-Rename "Version 11.0" to "old Version 11.0"

5-Go back to Library

5-Then go to preferences

6-Then go to Adobe InDesign

7-Rename "Version 11.0" to "old Version 11.0"

8- Once done, re launch the app and check

According the Adobe agent, It could have been a bad preference.
