Nintendo has released an update fixing a Switch boot up bug
Following the release of the V20.0.0 firmware earlier this week that introduced features like Virtual Game Cards, some Switch users found their consoles unable to boot and displaying an error code after applying the update and restarting. Nintendo acknowledged the issue and released another update, V20.0.1, this morning, which fixes the problem. But those experiencing the error code will need to perform a few extra steps to get their Switches updated and working again.
The release notes for the new V20.0.1 update only address the Switch’s boot-up bug, so it’s not essential for anyone without problems installing V20.0.0. The release says: “Fixed an issue where Error Code: 2206-1015 sometimes occurred when restarting the system after updating to system version 20.0.0.”
The update needs to be applied while the Switch is in Maintenance Mode, since the 2206-1015 error code prevents some Switch users from successfully booting their consoles and getting the update automatically or manually through the Switch’s System Settings menu. Nintendo has outlined the following steps:
Contact Nintendo’s official support channels for additional assistance if you apply the V20.0.1 update using these steps but it doesn’t fix the issue, or if you’re seeing a different error code when the console starts up.
