I am unable to start indesign because this message pops up "Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign". I have uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the InDesign App to no avail. Any advice on how to fix the problem?

That's an unusual error that I haven't heard of for a long time.

 

There could be some sort of conflict on your system. One trick I've heard used is using the CC Cleaner Tool before reinstalling again:

I am using Windows 10 Home Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1035G7 CPU @ 1.20GHz 1.50 GHz 64-bit operating system x64-based processor, do you need more information for the operating system? 

 

The InDesign is version 15.1.1.
