Color Settings Not Sticking

Upon updating to InDesign 2019 (14.0) my color settings are no longer retained.

As soon as I quit the app and restart the color settings go back to "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off"

I have reinstalled the app.
I have wiped all settings.
I have cleared the Adobe Color Cache folder.

    I am having the same problem! It really is an issue! You pay a fortune every month for stupid bugs that take forever to get fixed!!!!!

  • Rae commented  ·   ·  Report

    Having the same problem as others below major issue just spent forever troubleshooting why the new files I reported looked all wrong. Changed back to the correct color setting. Exported again and it was fixed an hour later the settings had reverted again! What do I need to rollback to to fix this?

  • macbeth commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is STILL a problem — I started having this in March 2021 suddenly in Indesign. All my colors are wonky now. I have tried going to Bridge, etc, and every day it reverts back. It never sticks. Seriously -- they NEED to fix this -- it is super frustrating and slowing me down!

  • Gareth Lind commented  ·   ·  Report

    This issue isn't fixed. I'm running 16.1, latest version. It changes all the time, I have to keep going to Bridge to reset. Annoying, irritating, this never needed to happy. Why does Adobe build as many new bugs as they do new features?

    Indesign 16.1 keeps losing color settings they go back to "Emulate Adobe InDesign 2.0 CMS Off"

    Please Adobe fix it!

    i got the same problem with indesing and illustrator, latest versions march 2021. also indesign resets to emulate when i import an image.

    This is happening for me too. Document colour settings are vital for the print industry to maintain colour consistency, how a bug like this can get through to general release is appalling.

    Still happening
    @Adobe. Please fix it!

    Very frustrating, been happening all week…

    I’m experiencing this same issue in InDesign 16.1 (haven't checked Illustrator yet) after the recent update. Please fix this, as it is quite annoying.

  • Austin commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is horrible. It keeps happening over and over.

  • elena commented  ·   ·  Report

    Same issue in Indesign 16.1 and Illustrator, it drops the settings while working. It's frustrating !

  • Lars commented  ·   ·  Report

    I am having the same issue. This is messing my entire workflow up.

    Are the people building these apps working with designers? Color Management issues could destroy an entire project, and I am currently working on several at once. I need this program to work with me on it's base level of functioning.

  • Jonas Cederholm commented  ·   ·  Report

    Wow, it even drops the settings as Indesign is open and while working on a document(!). Please fix this at once Adobe.

  • Gio commented  ·   ·  Report

    Hi, I’m experiencing this same issue in InDesign 16.1 (and also in Illustrator 25.2.1) after I recently updated them both.

    Why are these same issues reoccurring after they have been fixed in earlier versions?
