Adobe PDF presets / exports not working in InDesign CC 2021 (v16.0)
This seems to be same or similar problem previously reported for CC2020 (v15.0) but reported as fixed in v15.1.3. -- Related bug report is here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs/suggestions/39026392-pdf-export-in-indesign-cc-2020-15-0-is-broken#{toggle_previous_statuses}
Adobe PDF Presets initially worked in CC 2021 when first updated. (I don't know what version that was.) And they worked as recently as last week for me. Today however, none of the presets work, whether the original ones or custom presets I created. I went back to v15.1.3 and all the same presets work correctly.
I don't know if InDesign has had an incremental update, but this started happening after the most recent Creative Cloud update. I have experienced two types of errors: (1) Export seems to finish but an alert is given that export failed; (2) Export hangs up in the middle and just stops.

Yes, I'm trying to output a high res pdf for print and I'm attempting to apply the usual Colour conversion / Destination and only offered either CMYK or RGB as an option.
No other presets. E.G Working CMYK- Coated FOGRA39 etc.
Any suggestions anyone.. on How I can fix? I have already Uninstalled InDesign 16.1 and then reinstalled. I tried outputting to pdf in Photoshop it seems fine - all options showing.
I looked in Library in Presets and there only seems to be a in Alias see attached screengrab
