Hello everyone!
I would like some help on my Indesgin app. It keeps crashing once it startsup and the pin wheel of death on mac never stops. I have already restarted and reinstalled my Indesign for a couple of times. My other adobe app works perfectly. It's just Indesign that keeps crashing. I hope someone can help. Thanks!

Please let us know: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using.
Often these kind of problems are best handled by restoring InDesign preferences and caches. Here's a description of how to do this:

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the reply!
I'm on Macbook Pro. Apple M1 Max. 64 Gb. macOS Ventura Version 13.3.1. My Indesign is Indesign 2023 v18.3.
I already tried reseting the preferences and clearing the caches before posting here on the community. But the crashes hasn't been resolved unfortunately.

Do you see any error messages? Have you tried clearing the InDesign Recovery folder in your hidden user library?

Hi Rishabh,
I tried disabling the damaged fonts. It somehow worked. But I'll keep monitoring if it will crash again.
Thanks!

Thanks for following up. But yeah, it started to keep crashing again. I'm not doing anything heavy. I might need a more permanent solution.
Thanks!

How did you install InDesign? Did you install it from the CC Desktop application or from a backup or former computer, where it was installed?

I removed it totally from the CC app, and reinstalled it, then rebooted the Mac. Still crashing a few times a day. Also reset /removed preferences yesterday.
