Disable loading Visual Assist X when launching Visual Studio

Question

Is there any way to disable VA X when launching VS and turn it back on only when needed? Since it will cause some lag. I seem can't find the option either in VS's option or VA's option.

Answer 1

Hold the shift key down when Visual Studio starts up - this will prevent all addins from loading (at least in more recent versions of Visual Studio).

Answer 2

In VS2013,

1. On the Tools menu, click Extensions and Updates.
2. In the Extensions and Updates dialog box, locate Visual Assist.
3. Disable it.
