Went to play Minecraft but I was logged out of my Microsoft account and I lost some stuff so I reloaded my backup save data (yes you can do that on switch) and I was still logged out so I just assumed it was a small glitch I logged in then I saw the moving picture and only the moving picture again I thought this was a small minor glitch so I went to home to close the game that’s when my switch completely froze I couldn’t turn it off move it and it wasn’t just the controllers (A they are new B I touched the screen to try to close it) so I had to remove the game card and watch my switch hoping it would fix it self but the screen was still frozen I unplugged the charger and thought I had to wait till ran out of battery but after 5 mins of waiting it turned off and went into sleep which then fixed it it was also on charge and was at 62%

the same thing has been happening to me too. i highly doubt its an age issue considering i got it just this year but each time i attempt to say anything in chat i freeze and have to reset my switch
(reboot it)

Well what do you know it happened to my friend as well

Since the update my switch has been freezing when loading minecraft. I have to force the switch to shutdown and then restart. Mine seems to freeze when leaving the first menu. I have had it freeze elsewhere but mainly leaving the first menu.

I had the same thing happen to me after I installed the 1.16.20 update, previous to the update I had no issue.

Thank you for your report!
