18.1 Workspace resets to 'essentials'
I'm working with Indesign 18.1 (issue also has occured with other older versions).
My custom workspace utilizes a two-screen setup, one screen for the actual layout and the other screen for all the menus/palettes etc.
Everytime I close out of a document and reopen a new document, the custom workspace resets from my custom workspace to a generic one-screen workspace. In previous versions, that reverted workspace was 'essentials' but with 1.81 it seems to be a partially custom / nondescript workspace....most likely because I went and deleted the 'essentials' workspace here:
/Applications/Adobe InDesign 2023/Presets/InDesign_Workspaces
I am working with a lot of different files everyday so this constant "reset, reapply the workspace" process is a real chore.
I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling/updating to the current version from an older version also.

Similar thing is happening to me when I load Indesign Illustrator or Photoshop now all my pallets are gone even clicking on my workspace doesn't bring them back I have to select another workspace, then select mine to get them on.
I am so tired of the constant bugs. It's literally something every single day.
