Homebrew Question HBL Shows no apps even when there are .nro files in the "switch" folder on root

i am on 5.1.0, is that the issue? I can't get any apps to show up. Using homebrew starter kit if that matters

You using the sd files for 5.1? If not, check this thread out:

Try this?

Connect your sd card to a windows PC and select everything inside.
Right click, properties, advanced, disable "folder/file is ready for archiving". Done.

This means that you removed the SD card from the Switch while it is still on. Never do this. It prevents the Switch from being able to read the files on it.

Uhhh, since I did what you suggested no games are launching. They say “the software was closed because an error occurred”

I was hoping the files used in the homebrew starter pack would be up to date but it appears they are not. On your SD card, put this version of the homebrew menu: https://github.com/tumGER/SDFilesSwitch/releases

so.. i dont know the reason or how to properly fix it..

but if you put the *.nro app on the root...(not on the /switch folder)
it runs with no issue

the problem when you download a new app from the app store, it goes to /switch folder and then you can see it again..
you will have to go and move it again....
