Hey, since two days I can't open my InDesign because it freezes everytime it want to open it and then crashed. It always stops when it is indicated "Tracker werden gestartet", no clue what does means. It already deinstalled, deleted everything that was probably from InDesign, reinstalled the different versions etc. Nothing worked yet. Any other ideas how to solve the problem? Thank you!

Sounds like your version of InDesign is now speaking German ("Trackers are started"). I suggest deleting all InDesign cache files, too. Weird.

It is in German. But I didn't how it was translated.

Where do I find the cache files? I'm worried to delete other important stuff. I'm on Windows if that makes a difference...

Hallo Ann,

das vollständige InDesign Cache-Verzeichnis findest Du auf Windows 10 hier:

 

[Benutzername] > AppData > Local > Adobe > InDesign

 

Je nach InDesign-Version siehst Du dann beispielsweise das Chache-Verzeichnis für InDesign 2022 mit dem Namen:

Version 17.0. Für InDesign 2021 heißt das Version 16.0 etc.pp.

 

Hier ein Beispiel mit mehreren Versionen von InDesign auf dem Rechner:

Beende InDesign bevor Du das löschst.

Mach einen Backup vom Verzeichnis.

Beim nächsten Start von InDesign wird das völlig neu erstellt.

 

Wichtig:

Das Verzeichnis AppData kannst Du nur sehen, wenn Du bei "Ausgeblendete Elemente" im Ansicht-Tab ein Häkchen setzt. Das ist per default in Windows 10 ausgeschaltet.

Hello,

 

I'm currently experiencing the same problem as described above. I get a frozen screen at "tracker werden gestartet" (German version)

Clicking into the window turns it black. (See screenshots attached)

I'm running on my laptop Windows 10 and havent had any problems so far with other Adobe programms.

I have followed the steps above a couple of times, but they dont seem to work.

What can I do?

 

Thanks in advance and kind regards

Hi @Laura22208935a0xr,

 

Sorry about the trouble. I would suggest you try the following steps and let us know how it goes:

  • Manually reset preferences by renaming the folders from the following locations:
    - C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
    - C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Adobe
    Rename InDesign folders to InDesign.old Launch InDesign from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
    Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all the custom settings, and InDesign will launch with default settings. This way, all your old settings will be saved in .old folders, and InDesign will recreate new folders with default settings.
  • Rename the CEP folder to CEP.old from the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
  • If that doesn't help, rename the UXP folder to UXP.old in the following locations:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\
  • Try running the app in Safe Mode & Hidden Admin Account?
  • Try creating a new user account and see if that helps.
  • If that doesn't help either, uninstall the application using the CC Cleaner tool and restart the system (most important) reinstall from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

 

I'll be looking forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Anshul Saini
