To install Version 20.0.1 and resolve the error code on Nintendo Switch, you must enter maintenance mode. The first step is to ensure the Nintendo Switch is turned off. If the console will not turn off, hold down the Power Button for at least 12 seconds to force it to shut down.

The update should install automatically for most users, but if not, there is a sequence of steps you’ll need to follow to get your Switch back in action.

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.
