Are you referring specifically to the Start and Recent Files workspaces? (The rest are controlled via Window > Workspace.)

After enabling both, did you try restarting InDesign?

[amandab73558393]

yeah thats turned on and I've done multiple indesign restarts its just totally ignoring that they are turned on!

Let's start with the Start workspace (then we can move on to the Recent files workspace). What do you see when you open InDesign CC 2017 before you open a file? Can you share a screen shot? Use the button outlined in orange, below.

this is what i see. It's probably fixed with something really simple that i missing over looking! which is whats making so annoying!!!

Pictures tell all! Yes, it was Window > Application Frame and it's in all the CC apps on Macs.

Do you want to work on the Recent Files workspace, or are you good?
