InDesign Text Effects NOT Working (Windows 11)

[YESNT]

Hi there - is there any working InDesign version for Windows 11 at all?

I have tried all available CC versions between v17.0 and the most recent update inside 2023 but I run into pretty much exactly the same issues in any version:

1) text elements with effects applied will display strange strike-thru lines which disappear and re-appear if I scroll the affected page in and out of the viewable area.

2) but much worse: applied text effects will only show in active screen mode but never translate into any alternative screen mode selected e.g.  when typically switching from NORMAL to PREVIEW the effects show incorrectly as if offset and with added thickness -> please see attached images. This also happens the other way around: when working in preview mode, applying effects and then switching to normal mode.

Further, v17.0 is the most stable in that regard. With later versions applying text effects is sometimes not possible and the whole process is randomly unpredictable.

This deems the program near unusable for me! Can anyone from Adobe please help? Or does anyone in the community have suggestions?

Many thanks in advance.

What's the system's base video, er, system? You should be able to just plug the monitor into it, without removing the Nvidia card; InDesign doesn't make indirect use of the GPU the way some games and computation apps do. It shouldn't affect the base video adapter's output.

I'm coming to the conclusion your system is possessed, though. 🙂
