InDesign 2025 repeatedly crashes
It all began when upgrading to 2025. Yes I kept 2024 just in case. Had also installed and run the beta InDesign a few times as the only doc I could get was a PDF. However, once finished using the beta I uninstalled it. At the time I loaded 2025 the beta was not installed. The very first time I opened 2025 it immediately crashed so I uninstalled it and went back to using 2024, but whatever the problem is migrated to 2024 and I started having crash problems with 2024.
After that, I went ahead and uninstalled 2024 thinking it might be a conflict problem for some crazy reason but that didn't help. So now I've been using 2025 and every time it crashes I sent the report. When the 2025 updated showed up just recently I was hoping that would fix the issue but it hasn't.
What I've noticed is that the crashes occur on opening the palettes. I have quite a few of them and the first one I noticed that was repeatable was every time I tried to open the CC libraries palette. However, it's also doing it with other palettes, specifically the swatches and pages palette. Also, when trying to grab a page in the palette to move it I get an immediate crash. Recently, it has also begun immediately crashing upon restarting directly after a crash. On the third attempt, it does not crash on reopening 2025.
I have cleared the cache, reset preferences and even uninstalled the application entirely and then reinstalled it but nothing is helping. Indesign has always worked well on my iMac. It was only after installing 2025 that the problems started. As an additional note, I have installed the 2025 versions of Photoshop and Illustrator and they are running with no problems that I have found.

I hope this information helps in tracking down the problem.
