Indesign keeps crashing

Almost daily, I need to force-quit InDesign. It keeps crashing. I think it's mostly happening when I've been using other apps and I try to switch back to InDesign. Nothin happens when I click on the app icon in my dock. I've been force-quitting every time. I'm on a Macbook pro 2018, running version 13.4.1 OS. I found this article about fixing Indesign crashes, but I really don't understand it and am having a hard time following the instructions... I need some help. Thanks!

A little update here...

I just force-quit InDesign, then opened up the app again. I loaded a file that I've been working on. It told me that there are missing fonts and I just clicked to ignore that for now. Now the "missing fonts" dialog box is frozen and the app is crashed again. Don't know if it has something to do with the fonts? Not sure what is going on but it keeps happening and not with the same file. It's happened with all sorts of files.

First, update to macOS 13.6 (but NOT 14). Will it solve the issue? Many users experience some issues on outdated versions of Ventura although not exactly the ones you describe.

Ok, I will try to find some time to do that, thanks.
