I would like to turn off all plugins without uninstalling them. I usually do this while testing to rule out an issue being caused by a plugin. I am looking for the QGIS equivalent to the ArcMap Administrator setting BlockAddIns being set to 4:

0—Load all add-ins regardless of whether or not they have digital signatures.
1—Only load and use add-ins that are digitally signed by a trusted certificate authority.
2—Only load and use add-ins that have been published by ESRI.
3—Only load add-ins from the administrator folders (described below) and all add-ins published by ESRI.
4—Do not load or execute any add-ins in this application.

When launching QGIS, you can use the command line and use the --noplugins option.

See command line options for complete documentation.

Also, worth to be listed but not strictly related to the question, you can launch QGIS using a "blank profile" (no plugins and all settings by default), by doing Settings -> User Profiles -> New Profile…

  • Well, I created a profile with Memory Layer Saver only and one with no plugins. Both were up to the 10-minute mark with fully opening the file. I'll next try re-creating the project file and see if that helps. – bkepl Jun 11 '21 at 17:55
