What kind of object(s) are you working with in InDesign? I know of no changes in the resizing features in InDesign 20.0.
You might try restoring your preferences:

There is no such command in InDesign. I don't know the limitations of scripting for InDesign well enought to say it can't be done with scripting but I doubt it.
Of course, it's easy in Illustrator because fundamentally it is a drawing program and InDesign is not: Object > Path > Outline Stroke.

Exactly what happens when you try to do the update. How does it not work? Post the error message you receive, please.
Try restoring your InDesign preferences before you do the update:

I don't have that font but went to MyFonts, and if I picked it right, Ringo looks similar but not the same:
Maybe a graphic designer created a custom font for the 2025 splash screens.

Everyone has their own workflow. I know already which files are in which folders. I don't need to search tags to find the files.

InDesign has NEVER allowed you to multiple-select characters or words. It's just not possible.

Some old-time printers follow an old-fashioned fear of PDF files. They think everything must be outlined. And in almost all cases, THEY ARE WRONG.

Like Robert said:
First try restoring preferences:
https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/
And if that doesn't work, here's the CC Cleaner:

As a general practice, Adobe only posts the current version and the previous version. In this case version 2025 and 2024.

There should just a preference which can be turned on to TURN THEM ALL OFF for people who don't need them.

Rob is correct.
CC Libraries is a good place to store images which you need to access frequently.

I'd agree with @defaulttvr2hdmazys4 : If the fonts are activated in Illustrator, they may not be activated: Check the InDesign Font menu and activate them if necessary.

Problems like that can usually be corrected by restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how:

You should try restoring your InDesign preferences in InDesign 20.0.
Go to Preferences > General. At the bottom of the panel to "Reset Preferences on Quit".
See if that solves the problem.

It would be good if there could be an InDesign preference to be able turn OFF the Contextual Bar (which when set with no documents open would always take effect with every new document).
If you feel strongly about this make a feature request in the InDesign User Voice: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

You can reinstall InDesign 2024 are reopen it again to work on. (Never a good idea to do an update when you're working on a critrical product.)
Go to Creative Cloud desktop app > Apps section. Show All Apps.

Have you checked with Xerox to see if you have the latest printer driver for your printer? They may not yet support MacOS Sequoia.

Thanks, Leo, I never need to do that when placing files. I always know the folder I need when placing.

I have tagged folders on my Desktop. I seem to have no problems them when choosing File > Place in either InDesign 2024 or 2025. (Or what am I missing?)
InDesign 2024:
The colored circles represent Tags.

The feature is not just in InDesign. It's at least in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
It's likely not going away because, for many people, it provides a quick contextual way of choosing common commands.\
I suggest going to the InDesign User Voice, and request a Preference to Disable the Contextual Menu so it cannot be invoked.

No problems for me.
My suggestion: Restore your IinDesign preferences. The easiest way is to go to Preferences > General. At the bottom of the panel, see the button and click. Then quit out of InDesign. When you open InDesign you will have restored your preferences.

There will be no announcements made in advance about integrating beta features into the release product because it depends on what is encountered in the developent process.
Just stay tuned to release announcements.

Were there any other files which were lost at the same time? For examples, images which were referenced in the InDesign file?
If other files were also lost, it may be a server-related failure, not an InDesign problem.
