Lagging and terrible performance

[gerardk36790456]

I have a Macbook Pro 2018, and Photoshop has been running horrible since it's last update, I sort of was annoyed by it, but I could handle it.

However, now Indesign has started to do this aswell. It's lagging, slow in response whenever I want to switch fonts, zoom, scroll etc. etc. I've been toggling between different Resolution & Display performance, nothing helps.

I've been really annoyed with Adobe updates the past 2 years, slowly, this Adobe CC thing is becoming a beast destroying everything in it's path.

Which version of InDesign and OS?

How much RAM and spare disk capacity do you have on your system?

Are you using a third-party font manager?

Have you tried resetting your InDesign preferences –

1) Close InDesign
2) Double click on Adobe InDesign's icon to launch it
3) QUICKLY hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (for Windows) or CTL+OPT+CMD+Shift (for Mac OS X)
4) When a dialog appears, ask you “Delete InDesign Preference Files?” Click Yes.

(If you don't see the question do it again.)
