Re: indesign not launching from start menu

From the sound of it, the OS doesn't know InDesign is the default application for .indd files and you have an out-of-date link in your start bar. The CC app knows what InDesign is, but the OS doesn't, so the remedy is to either set up the default manually or uninstall and reinstall InDesign. the installation process will add the necessary defaults to the OS.

 

This happened, possibly, because you uninstalled an earlier version of InDesign after you had installed the new one. This is a frailty of the uninstaller (all of the Adobe apps suffer the same problem) that I hope will be fully addressed soon. At present, the necessary sequence to avoid problems (if you don't want to keep an earlier version of an app) is: a) install new version, b) migrate preferences, etc., c) uninstall old version, d) uninstall, then reinstall new version.
