Most times when I load my Wii U while I have my USB of wii wbfs, it will freeze the console on startup. The only thing I have on the USB is the wbfs folder which contains the 2 wii games. I have also tried deleting the contents of the USB so that is has nothing on there. It will still freeze. The USB is 64gb and FAT32 formatted. I have also tried using different USBs and USB ports.

Steps to reproduce
1 - Insert a FAT32 USB into the Wii U.
2 - Turn on the Wii U
3 - it should freeze on the screen shown in the image with no sound or movement.

upon further testing, it seems to happen regardless of if the USB or SD card is plugged in
