InDesign is crashing on launch

[justinm22908180]

This app has been crashing on opening for about the last 6 months. Can you please help me and tell me why it has taken this long without any resolutions?

Hard to know without more info

How is it crashing - any dialogs?

Any errors to report?

What OS?

What version of InDesign?

Some general tips

If every document try reset your preferences

Quit InDesign, then relaunch the application and immediately hold down the following key combinations for your OS:
Mac OS X: CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift.
Windows: CTL+ALT+Shift.

If it's just one document try File Export and choose IDML 

Open it up and resave it as an indesign file

See if problems persist.

You can use CC Cleaner Tool

Or you can roll back to another version
