What it does is that when you encounter an issue with your extensions, it disables half of them, and asks you whether that fixed your issue or not. If it did, it repeats the process, disabling only half of that half, and asks you again - and so on and so forth until you home in on one troublesome extension.

Good ol binary search.

Gotta say though VS Code sure seems more convient than a proper IDE, you even have extentions to do a binary search for you when one of your thousand of extentions to make it have the same functionality is causing a problem...

Used it once at it works well, would certainly recommend for those us with too many extensions.
