Crashes my switch when initializing. Any solution?

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Wasn't working for me neither at the beginning.
Then I removed themes folder in /switch/sx/ (sdcard) and it worked!

I did this still crashed.

I don't know if it's lack of knowledge or just stubbornness that people still use exfat, but there's zero reason. Especially on SX OS it's the easiest all you have to do is have an external hard drive and format it to exfat (which is fine) and if you want to install your games just install them off that hard drive and keep your sd card fat32, then there's no 4 gb limit. If someone just stays on exfat they're just asking to have their sd card corrupted unless they use no homebrew but almost everyone does.

yes, im using exfat..

i will skip this version.. waiting for next update for more stable (no error to force power off switch)

no need to wait for the next version to be more stable! FAT32 has been around since before the switch was released and it is 10000 more times stable than exFAT. There are literally hundreds of comments and threads on here saying do not use exFAT because it is unstable.

Having said that I am on Fat32 forever and this just crashes when I launch it, I even deleted themes folder still crashes. So maybe there does need to be a new version unless someone has another solution.

So was exFAT... The only reason FAT32 is recommended is because the switches drives are horrible, in a general hardware exFAT is better.

I think he's probably using ExFAT and since this is homebrew it makes you vulnerable to corruption. I'm on FAT32 and had crashes but no corruption.

Nah, I've tried both formats for my microSD, kept or deleted the themes folder as suggested earlier, redownloaded, etc. Still crashes for me.

Switch to atmosphere and enjoy sys clk, dock mode graphics on handheld, auto inject payload when crash. There are no reason to stick with SX
