I updated to 8.1.0 using Choi, and forgot to select exFAT. I didn't think much of it but now I can't boot the system. I can access hekate but I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Auto RCM gets turned off when I try to boot. Any help?

If your SD is formatted as exFAT, then you have two options:
  1. Backup the contents of your SD card and reformat your SD card as FAT32 (recommended).
  2. Use a different SD card that's on FAT32 to install the exFAT update to your Switch with ChoiDujourNX.

Thank you! I've been a long time lurker and this situation brought me to post for the first time. Formatting now and hopefully everything works out.
