From the help->about->plugins I found the plugins folder 'extcap' and rename it. Then open wireshark again, it opened quickly and no plugins loaded. Or you can move the plugins which is in 'extcap' to other folders, you can move the plugins to 'extcap' again when you need.
Note that there are two types of plugins:
Renaming the extcap folder prevents the extcap plugins from being run, but doesn't prevent the "loaded" plugins from being loaded.
Extcap plugins do slow down the startup process more than do "loaded" plugins; it appears that disabling extcap plugins sped up your startup, and it may be that the original poster's problem was with the extcap plugins, not the "loaded" plugins.

never see any checkmark icon, how to do that?
As the "answer" has now been moved to a comment, there is no checkmark for "accepting" it. I'll try to clean it up.
As I noted in a comment on the answer, the plugins that are probably causing the slowness are "extcap" plugins rather than "loaded" plugins. You can disable them by renaming the "extcap" directory, so that Wireshark doesn't find any extcap plugins.
