Provide a /SafeMode (similar to visual studio's command line switch) command line switch for ArcMap.exe to start without loading any AddIns, 3rd party extensons and perhaps use an default ESRI profile rather than the one in the user's profile.

This would speed up troubleshooting and potentially determine if an issue is with the core product or with 3rd party tools and extensions.

Hi @JayCummins 
ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application.

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
