InDesign fails to launch

I cannot start InDesign on my Windows 10 notebook even though the rest of the Adobe apps work relatively well. On my main PC it runs without any problems. I tried re-installing the software, but it didn't help.

    Hi,
    Myself Sanyam Talwar from InDesign Engineering team, I am currently investigating the current issue.

    During our analysis of issue mentioned in the thread, we found that you had reported a crash with an older release of InDesign.

    We have released InDesign CC2019.0.1 with lot of stability fixes. If you are not on 14.0.1.209 then I would recommend you to upgrade to latest version as it is more robust.

    If you still face an issue with the latest release, please submit the crash report. Guidelines to submit crash are available at https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/submit-crash-reports.html

    Also, Please send the following information to santalwa@adobe.com.
    • OS
    • System configuration
    • Reproducible Steps – What were you doing when InDesign crashed?
    • Error snapshot or video recording of the issue?
    • Is(Are) the issue related to a specific document(s)/asset(s)? If Yes, Can you please provide the document(s)/asset(s)?
    • Does Trashing preference and cache, please create a backup of Preference and cache before trashing them, help to resolve the issue?

    Regards

    I have the same problem, but on an iMac. Makes my computer freeze each time I try to launch the software and I'm force to restart.
