Pink Screen in InDesign

New Here ,

This is getting to be annoying. Whenever I'm working in InDesign, if I pause my work for a period of time, the screen either goes to gray and then to pink. I can't see a thing. I'm continually having to quit out of InDesign and reopen if I want to continue working on a document. Any ideas why this is happening?

Updating OS did not help. If I stop working and step away from my desk, when I come back it's all gray and then if I'm away longer the screen is entirely pink. It's very irritating. I continually have to quit of and reopen.

How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?
Have you tried resetting the InDesign preferences back to the factory defaults?

ONLY InDesign is affected?

Also using a 2023 Apple 27 and a cheap Dell, doesn't appear to do on the dell. But I don't work on that monitor as color is not trust worthy.

Does it involve an external monitor? Just to have an idea about your setup.

 

Also, just in case: I assume you went through the standard troubleshooting steps:

I also assume you tried to toggle GPU Performance?

Hi,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. In addition to the details shared by Leo can you also confirm if you're experiencing the issue on any other Adobe application or just InDesign?

 

Thanks

I have exactly the same thing happening. I've updated system software and Adobe software to try and see if they're fixed it but no joy.

What are your exact versions of InDesign and the operating system? Also, does it involve an external monitor and did you try the troubleshooting steps mentioned above?
