I know it's beta, so what can I do to help? I noticed a lot of freezeing with 2.6.1. Mainly when I sleep the system, coming out is not possible and I must force shut down.

What FW are you running?
Are you using emunand?
What is your SD formatted?

Ok. So I am not sure what cause the initial crash (even if it happened when waking from sleep), but after crashing enough times especially with apps running, your SD probably has corruption on it. I would, as tedious as this will be, backup your saves, license file and any games that you do not have backed up on your computer. Once you do that, reformat your SD and then move your files back. I would redownload the boot.dat file as well.

You can try to scan and repair the SD first, but imo it's better to just start with a freshly formatted SD. See if the issue persists.

EDIT: While I am not on 7.0.x, I have been using 2.6.1 since it's release and have no issues waking from sleep, launching games or my Switch crashing. My SD is formatted fat32 as well.

Oh crap, my dumb ass for got something pretty inportnt... I use a external HD for games.

I can do the SD stuff anyways. A friend of mine also mentioned it as to why I posted but he is still on 6.2. He says it's so bad he had to go back a version because nothing would play but he does not use an HD. However our guess was 6.2 had to be part of the issue but from what the post above suggestion it's ok on 6.2?

Either way ill get this done, I have a back up SD I can copy everything to. Going to take the extra step in a disk check first as my data is already backed up.

thx for the replies, I shall report back.
