New to CC, why is the InDesign 'opening window' blank?

I joined CC just 2 days ago, and now trying to get to grips with it after many years using CS3.
I use InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop. A few initial observations:

1.

The first thing I noticed was that my InDesign 'opening window' is totally blank and empty unlike the other two.
Why is this? Have I not set up InDesign correctly? Any help would be much appreciated.

I stacked them together, and the spacing/layout of the windows is different. This seems like very poor design to me.
Illustrator does not have any text at the top, whereas the other 2 do - alas not consistent with each other, and in different fonts (!).

2.

Text is not properly centered in the save dialog boxes. It's off-centre and positioned too low. Hurts my eyes...

3.

Command-H does not work for Illustrator, but does for the other 2.

1. What is your InDesign workspace set to?
2. I salute you sir.

3. Yes, cmdH only really works in ID. Ever consider Cmd+Tabbing to go places? Or Cmd+F3 to go to desktop?

Command H can be set in both Illustator (replaces another function) and Photoshop (the first time you do it, it prompts you with a question about the desired setting for Command H).

Something looks funky with your start space in your screen shots. See what your settings are in Preferences / General regarding Showing Home Screen with no docs open.
