Hello,

I have been using Indesign for a few years and this week the app has been refusing to show on my main dashboard unless my wacom tablet is plugged in.

I have desinstalled and re installed the app. Nothing has changed.

Try resetting your preferences:
The easiest way to reset everything is to delete the InDesign preferences: as soon as InDesign starts to boot hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl (and Apple/Cmd if working on a Macintosh). A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
Further info and instructions here if needed:

Reinstalling rarely fixes everything - you can do a complete reinstall using the
