On 12/31/2020 my Vortex began notifying me of "Extensions Updated, please restart to apply them". No matter whether I hit the 'restart now' button in Vortex, or restart manually, the notice reappears constantly. How do I fix this?

Sounds like something went wrong when updating. Try going to %appdata%/vortex/plugins and deleting any folders you don't recognise.

Received a message from Vortex that a plugin extension (theme-switcher) was taking too long to load, suggested it was likely a "bug", and allowed me to cancel or wait. I cancelled. The applet does not seem to allow a disabling of the extension. I will have to dig deeper it appears.
EDIT: Followed your advice to Users\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\plugins to find plug ins for something called "Mount and Blade 2" with 3 suspect folders, and I do not own that game. Deleted all 3 folders, restarted Vortex, and it updated the extensions, but the newer extension update only added 2 folders back. "game-mount-and-blade2_0.2.5.7z.installing" folder was not added back, so apparently that was the 'BUG' that was affecting the (theme-switcher)
