I am looking at using the Azure MFA Extension for NPS. However, if the NPS server is not able to send requests to Azure, users will not be able to log in at all. Is there some sort of emergency kill switch (Short of uninstalling the extension on NPS) to temporarily disable the extension until. Hi, Since the issue is more related with Azure, please.
Google Chrome is crashing when I try to open it. I'm assuming that it's probably a bad extension that's causing the problem.
How can I start up Chrome with all extensions disabled / turned off?

thirtydot is correct, run Chrome with the
Technically, it doesn’t so much disable all the extensions as much as hide them so that Chrome thinks that none are installed, so this won’t help in your particular case. t_b_b, since you cannot disable extensions in-browser and the command-line argument hides all extensions, what you want to do is to manually disable them. Open your User Data folder then open the file --disable-extensions
command-line option to disable extensions.

in a text-editor. Now scroll down to the line starting the settings blocks:
'settings': {
Each of the extensions will have its own block inside the settings block. To disable them, change their states to 0: 'state': 1
To simplify things, just do a search for all lines containing

Open an incognito window.
'If you want to create a shortcut that opens Chrome in incognito mode, duplicate an existing Chrome shortcut, right-click on the shortcut, select 'Properties' and append this flag to the target value: --incognito (don't forget to add a space to separate the flag).'

Run Chrome with commandline switch
This will run the plugin processes inside the sandbox and will not crash Chrome if you are sure that it is the plugins that are crashing Chrome.

This Chrome extension disables all extensions temporarily:
I have tried it and it works well, but not sure if it disables them in the manual sense @synetech says they should for debugging...

I tried all the suggestions for launching Chrome with plugins, no plugins, incognito and so forth... nothing worked. Even the menus launch a Chrome page, so if Chrome gives you the 'Aw Snap' message, it really means - Aw Snap! You can't even get to the tools and settings.
I did a Ctrl+Alt+Del and found
chrome.exe
in the task manager. Then I forced it closed, Chrome finally came up again. It has something to do with syncing your Gmail account when Chrome launches: if that is failing, then Chrome turns into Chris Rock.

You might need to delete the locally stored user profile. Try this:
- Open the window of the user you want to delete. (Check the icon in the top corner to make sure you're in the right user)
- Click the Chrome menu on the browser toolbar.
- Select Settings.
- In the “Users” section, select the user that you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
Alternatively, you can click the X icon to the right of the user. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Delete.

Google Chrome can run small programs called extensions that provide extra functions to the default browser. While the user often installs these programs, software on your computer can install them, too.
To disable a Chrome extension, you need to access the browser's Extensions page. There are two easy ways to get there.
Google Chrome also uses plug-ins that allow it to process web content like Flash. You can turn off a plug-in if you don't want websites to be able to access it. The option is in Chrome's settings.
Instructions for Disabling Chrome Extensions
You have a few options for accessing the extensions in Chrome, but the easiest is through the menu.
Click the three-dotted menu on the upper right-hand side of Chrome, and then go to More tools > Extensions.
The other way to open Chrome extensions is to enter this URL into the address bar: chrome://extensions/. It takes you to the exact same place the menu method does.
On this page is a list of all the extensions installed on Chrome. Enabled ones have a blue button on the bottom right of the extension block, and disabled ones are gray.
To disable an extension, click the blue slider button so that it turns to gray. You can enable Chrome extensions just as easily by clicking the gray button.
Instructions for Disabling Plug-ins in Chrome
You can open Chrome's plug-in settings via the settings.
-
Click the Chrome menu on the upper right-hand side of the browser.
-
Click Settings.
-
Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Advanced.
-
Select Content settings.
-
Click the plug-in you want to turn off, such as Flash.
-
Click the toggle button to enable or disable the plug-in.
You used to be able to access Chrome plug-ins from the chrome:plugins URL, but modern versions of Chrome no longer work that way.
