Cannot revert from InDesign CC2017 to CC 2015

[NIRC]

When I click on "Previous versions" in my Creative Cloud, InDesign CC 015 is not there. Since CC 2017 made all my plugins unusable, I need to go back. I didn't notice the option to not uninstall previous version when I updated, and I am really stuck.

     A friend down the hall has exactly the same problem, so I know it is nothing specific to my computer.

      Is there any way to safely uninstall CC 2107 and get back to the earlier version?

In the Apps section under Find Additional Apps, click on Previous Versions you will see InDesign listed. On clicking Install it will show list of all previous versions. You can select CC( 2015) 11.0 and install it.

Note that words Previous Version appear twice: pick the 2nd one.

Thanks. This did the trick nicely.

Great!

After following your advice, I got the plugins update and now want to use 2017 as my default, but...

In Windows 10 on a PC, I now have both programs on my computer. However, when I tried to change the default program to 2017, it doesn't show up in the Windows list. Alternatively, when I choose "open as" and navigate to the right subdirectory and click on the program, 2015 opens up.

  I cannot figure out how to change the default.

Incidentally, I tried all 7 options given in the Windows forum (http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/5507-default-apps-choose-windows-10-a.html#option1) but CC 2017 didn’t show up on any of them!
