InDesign opens files extremely slowly (March 2023)

Hello everyone 🙂

 

InDesign has been opening normal (even small) files extremely slowly for a few days. It is the case on several computers in our company.

 

Can anyone else confirm this?
Is the problem known and if so, can anything be done about it?

 

InDesign 18.1 x64
Windows 11 Pro 64 bit / Version: 22H2 / Biuld: 22621.1413

 

Thank you in advance!

 

Cheers

Nico

Are the files local or on a network? You should certainly update to 18.2.1.

Hi Bob, thanks for your answer.
I was able to update to 18.2.1 today, but that didn't fix the issue 😞
I tried saving the same files locally and then opening them, and it's just as slow as if the files were on the network, so that's not the problem.
Apparently there are not many users affected by this, I can't find any other posts on the topic.

Hello,

we've got the same problem since today, we are working on PC with Windows 10 x64 and the last version of Indesign (18.2.1 x64).

We can create new files but we can't open existing ones (even located on desktop), it seems to freeze the sotware.

We don't understand where the problem stand ...

Thanks

Alexandra

Hi Alexandra 🙂

 

Do you also have Windows 11?

Do you use the german language?


I have noticed that closing files also takes an extremely long time.
Have you managed to open any files?
And if so, do they also take a long time to completely close?

 

Cheers

Nico

Placing InDesign documents into other InDesign documents also takes an eternity. 😞
I have attached a screenshot of the task manager, it looks bad ...
