InDesign freezing on launch

InDesign does not respond almost every time I try to start it up. Yes, I've tried deleting preferences, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Several successive tries get it to open. This happens almost daily.

Also, Creative cloud indicates there are updates updates available. The The "Update all" button is grayed out. The indiviual butons do nothing when I click on them.
