How did you check the plugins? Often you need to close and reopen the vault to fully unload a plugin after disabling it. The easiest thing to do is turn on Settings > Community Plugins > Restricted Mode and reopen the vault to see if a plugin is the problem.

Another possibility: is your Ctrl (or Cmd) key stuck?
