I was copying a game to my install file on my SD using a USB adaptor when it got disconnected.
After that, my laptop refused to read it, format it, clean it, you name it; anything to do with that disk makes the whole system freeze up until I remove the SD card.
I've also tried it with two different SD card readers (not the USB ones), on two other Windows computers with the exact same problem.

SD card corrupted? Well, I'd have thought so, but, when I opened my brand new SD that was packaged with my Switch and tried it, same thing happened on all computers.
The Wii U can read it though (not sure about the brand new one since it has nothing on it for the Wii U to read), everything I had shows up in HBL and I downloaded Wii U USB Helper Transfer Tool on to it.

How can the Wii U read/write when Windows won't? All computers I've tried it on are Windows 10 (I don't think it would matter since this never happened before it got disconnected during file transfer, just in case it helps, or I get asked: Windows?)

After hours of trying to no avail, I tried again and it randomly just started working again :rolleyes:.
If a mod could remove this post, that'd be great.

    I am not it the loop on this, why take it so personally, though? Its just a video game and a work of fiction, at the end of the day.

    At least we can point and laugh to an indie game that is not worth playing.

    Last I read Amazon owns some rights you'd think a billion dollar company could fork more over for a decent game but their last game bricked GPUs so theirs that
