Hello my Indesign keeps crashing when booting up and I get the "InDesign has quit unexpectedly error message." I went to check said error and followed some recommendations on deleting preferences for InDesign I've tried several times but I am still getting the same results and really need to work on a document. I have attached the complete error log in hopes of help

You need at least 16GB of RAM (more would be better) and around 150GB (my guess) of free disk space to run InDesign 2021 successfully.

By the way, it's best not to post long logs directly on these posts, attach them via something like Dropbox.

Hi there,

 

As Derek rightly mentioned that recommended RAM for InDesign and other CC 2021 applications is 16 GB. Please check out more details about the system requirements here.

 

You may try the steps shared on this page ( https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/advanced-troubleshooting-for-launch-issues/td-p/11394034?pag... ) and share your observations with us.

 

Regards,

Srishti
