You can now disable individual extension using from command line using the argument --disable-extension

• code --disable-extension pub.a should disable extension pub.a
• code --disable-extension pub.a --disable-extension pub.b should disable pub.a and pub.b extensions

You can also disable extensions by using the command _workbench.enterWorkspace.

• Write a simple extension with following code

import * as vscode from 'vscode';

export function activate(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
    vscode.commands.registerCommand('test.openWorkspace', () => {
        vscode.commands.executeCommand('_workbench.enterWorkspace', vscode.Uri.file(`${sampleWorkspace}`), ['pub.a', 'pub.b']);
    });
}

// this method is called when your extension is deactivated
export function deactivate() {
}

• Above command opens the workspace you provided with the given extensions disabled.
  Note: Workspace to be provided should be code-workspace file

• If the extensions to disable are not running in the window you are running the command, then this will open the workspace without reloading the window.
