Dusted off the WiiU for Thanksgiving and my daughter did the update and now none of the installed eshop games or installed games on the hard drive will start.

Is there a guide to get it going again?

(it's been a while since I've used or hacked around with the Wii U)

Then you have to start it manually before you play your games. But haxchi is outdated. Tiramisu+aroma is the new "standard".
Awesome. Thank you. Saved the day! When I update to Tiramisu and aroma do I need to remove haxchi first?

Yes. Remove it first and then follow the wii u guide. Pretty easy to install.
How can I be sure which cfw I am currently using? I definitely have haxchi as I have to manually run it since I accidentally upgraded, but I also see CBHC in the homebrew launcher and the DO NOT TOUCH icon in the Wii U menu.

It's been so long since I touched the Wii U Im very rusty on it all.

Uninstall cbhc with its installer.

Pretty easy. Do you launch a title called "Haxchi" (I dunno if this is the correct description)? Then it is the normal haxchi. This can easily be removed through the data mamagement. Or do you see an "Autobooting..." screen when you turn on the console? That would be cbhc. Don't just uninstall this via data management! Otherwise you will brick your wii u!

When you have cbhc, do what @godreborn wrote. When you're done with this, you can uninstall the title safely via the data mamagement. But launch the installer before (for the case you have cbhc)!

It used to autoboot until about a week ago when I turned it on for the first time in ages and it updated. After the update I have to manually run haxchi before I can start any games.

It's possible that it disabled cbhc. I know one of the eu versions did. 5.5.6 is us only, so I checked your flag. Anyway, if it doesn't show autobooting, it should be fine to delete that game, maybe redownload it from eshop, then install tiramisu or aroma.

Is it possible to reenable autobooting of Haxchi and skip Tiramisu? If so how do I reenable autobooting of Haxchi?

Yes, cbhc installer.
When I run cbhc it pops up the following attachment. I'm afraid to continue. I just want to make haxchi autoboot since it stopped after the last update.

I have no idea if it's on internal storage. Why does it seem like it isn't already installed based on the screenshot?
it sounds like it's installed to the right place, but you can double check by going into data management in system settings before installing cbhc.

Does this mean it's installed to the internal memory?
