Lag/Delay in new indesign update (2025)

After installing Indesign 2025 (20.0 & 20.1), there is now a 3-5 sec lag/delay every time I click my mouse in and out of the program. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. I've uninstalled/re-installed the app multiple times and reset preferences on quit, and nothing is changing. I also went and "rebuilt my cache" of the Adobe indesign folders on my computer, and that did seem to solve the issue for a day, but I got back to having the delay again.  I have had Adobe Indesign for 10 years and have never run into this issue until the 20.0 update. This is making the app unworkable. Please help ASAP. I cannot spend any more time trying to figure this out.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Turn off the terrible new Context bar (Window/Context bar, uncheck it) it will speed things up.

That was one of the first things I did. Unfortunately, the problem still exists.

How about you tell us what they are. Frankly, the minimum specs are enough to install it but no so much to get it to run properly.

Thats a good point. See below for my machine's system specs:

System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

 

Any other specs I should focus on?

Is this the cause of the problems I've been having? Thank you so much, I just switched the Magnet settings to ignore InDesign and fixed it a little, does it need to be turned off entirely?

Confirmed! This was Magnet causing the issue. No idea how, but this solved the issue for me. You need to quit Magnet, setting it to ignore InDesign does not work.

 

Thank you fo your help!

So you say you've tried 20.0 and 20.1, but I assume you meant to type 20.0.1 for the latter. The solution, at least for me, was to install 20.1 which is currently in beta. If you are not in Adobe's beta program you need to sign up for it first, otherwise downgrade back to 2024 until 20.1 comes out of beta.

 

It boggles the mind why Adobe would release a version of the software with such major performance issues. I can only assume this was the work of some braindead VP/C-suite executive who refused to delay the launch, InDesign 2025 just had to release together with the other apps even if it was in an unusable state…

Thanks for your feedback and for sharing your observations. It’s clear that you’ve invested a lot of time troubleshooting this, and I appreciate the effort you’ve put into finding a solution.

 

To clarify, you’re absolutely right that the current version may address some of the issues you’ve encountered. For most users, InDesign performs well under standard setups, but as with any software, performance can vary depending on system configurations, updates, VPNs, firewalls, or other environmental factors that may unintentionally interfere.

 

There's no guarantee anything works out of the box, and sometimes we need to get an update to an issue that they're working on.

 

I understand how frustrating it can be when a new release doesn’t meet expectations, but let’s try to keep the discussion focused on constructive solutions. The InDesign team does take user feedback seriously, and I believe sharing detailed experiences, without the personal digs, helps them address concerns more effectively.

 

If you’d like, I can help point you toward specific resources or steps to try and ensure your system is optimised for the current version.

Can you share further details of the issues you're facing and your current system setup (OS/RAM/Processor etc.)

 

As this is a user to user forum I will point you the bugs forums where you can lodge a bug/techincal issues you're facing.

 

https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs

 

This is the best place to log bugs and get feedback directly to the Adobe team.

 

Have a nice day.
