InDesign works slowly after installing 2025 upgrade. Any solution?

[Federico Borsella]

same here, unsolved, I'm using version 2024, hope Adobe team is looking into it

Nobody can even begin to help without full system details, but if you're on a Mac and have Magnet installed, uninstall it.

Latest version of InDesign 2025 is unusable. I am reverting to the last version of InDesign 2024 now. This is a major f'ing problem.

[Federico Borsella]

Dear ADOBE, would like to know if you has understood the problem and is trying to fix it! Thank you very much

I have the same problem, InDesign 2025 is extremely slow and almost unworkable. I have deactivated the context bar, deactivated pre-flight, and have restarted my preferences at least 10 times (it usually works alright for about half a day and then I need to redo it again.) I can't go back to the previous version because some of the files I work on with co-workers are already updated to the newest 2025 Indesign (for some reason they do not have the same issue.) I have a MacBook Pro running Sequoia 15.2. Please help Adobe! This is essentially an unusable product!

did you update to InDesign 20.1?

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

@m.e.long 

Check for corrupted / duplicated fonts.

[Federico Borsella]

Have you noticed that there have been no InDesign updates for a while now? Hopefully they are fixing the problem we are discussing

FIXED THE PROBLEM 

[petitchoufleur]

Finally! 
This has been the most painful 4+ months of using InDesign I've ever experienced. 
It crashed 15 times yesterday alone. 

Let's hope this works.

Same thing here. Nver seen that in my graphic life...

[Robert at ID-Tasker]

@petitchoufleur, @Claire39005769fhuq

What platform, OS and InDesign versions? 

If you're on a Mac - and you use Typeface font manager app - turn off activations.

But it's MUCH more fun to guess!

[Dave Creamer of IDEAS]

Disable any OS utilies such as Magnet and Typeface. Remove any InDesign third-party plugins. Turn off GPU Performance preference. Start up in safe mode.

I had the same problem, Indesign would slow down insanely after a few hours of work, and I had to restart the computer to make it work. For me, the reason was this:
On blank screen go to Edit - Preferences - Type - Enable in-menu font previews - switch off.
Same thing was slowing up Illustrator, also insanely.. Now both programs run as they should.

[Federico Borsella]

go to Preferences>GPU Performance>turn off GPU Performance

[zbulaja]

No, il problema sono i font. Questo non aiuta molto.

[Federico Borsella]

io ho risolto così
