How can I disable all of the Kinsta MU plugins in my local environment? I tried simply deleting all of them, but that resulted in a WP whitescreen error.

Hello @juliaset 👋

You should be able to do so just be renaming the mu-plugins directory to i.e. mu-plugins.old.

That should do the trick 👍

Kind regards
