Indesign 2021 keeps crashing on launch on mac

[stuarts32502828]

Hi everyone,

My Indesign 2021 won't open... it just keeps crashing on launch! I figured maybe I needed to update the OS on my mac which I have done (to the latest OS)... I even uninstalled Indesign and reinstalled and no joy. It has been crashing regularly (about 3/4 times a day for the last month), but now it just won't open at all... I have a pretty new mac as well and really need to get this resolved asap... Has anyone else had a similar issue and managed to resolve it? If anyone has any tips then that will be great.

Thank you in advance

Try to delete your InDesign preferences
Using a keyboard shortcut:
1. (Windows) Start InDesign, and then immediately press Shift+Ctrl+Alt. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files. ...
2. (Mac OS) Start InDesign, and then immediately press Shift+Option+Command+Control. Click Yes when asked if you want to delete preference files.
