[Qgis-user] Cursor turns to spinning wheel the second I start QGIS

[magerlin]

For a couple of weeks I have experienced that my cursor turns to a spinning
wheel when I start QGIS.

It happens in the loading process at some time when the text "Restoring
loaded plugins" is shown so I suspect a plugin being the problem?

Any ideas on how to find the faulty plugin?

An upgrade to latest version 3.4.2 did not change anything.

You can manage installed plugins from the Plugins menu

Thanks, I am aware of that but with something like 100 installed plugins it
is a little hard to decide where to start.

But I did this instead:

I looked up the installation folder for plugins:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\QGIS\QGIS3\profiles\default\python\plugins

And sorted it by date. By that I found possible problematic plugins based on
when I think the problem started and I simply moved the folders of the
plugins to another place on my harddisk one by one and restarted QGIS every
time.

And I found the problem was in a folder named Nominatim, whick I found out
was the OSM place search plugin.

I have now reported it as a bug on the plugin bug tracker
