Is your switch hacked? If not, are you being shared games from another nintendo account? (If so, then you will need internet every time you play)

If the problem is with a CFW Switch then I had this problem after doing a recent firmware update on my banned console. I didn't know what was wrong but someone suggested that my exFat sd card was corrupt. I formatted it to Fat and reloaded my games (took ages) it worked. So possibly your SD card has got corrupted. Hope this is helpful.

It should be worth noting that they probably mean FAT32, as i doubt the switch is capable of using "FAT" filesystem memory cards.

Yeah, I've heard of this happening when people with old firmware from before the primary/secondary Switch thing was added update their CFW firmware. The Switch needs to go online once after that after that to set the console as primary, which is obviously a bad idea on a CFW NAND. It's possible to unlink your online account from the console turning the profile into a local one, which should solve the issue. It might however require reinstalling the games afterwards, if they have already been flagged as "needs online check", not sure how that works.

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.
