I had a lot of problems with my 5 year old WiiU over the last 12 months - the console would freeze constantly, especially when launching the web browser or other apps, or when switching from the web browser to a game. The web browser activity wasn't even recorded in the daily log anymore, and everytime I switched off the console, it was recorded as a hard turn off for some reason.

So I reset the console and restored the factory settings, but the problem got even worse, and the console would freeze everytime I launched the web browser - instantly.

Then I had the brilliant idea of changing the system language from italian to portuguese, a language I don't even speak, and all of this for no reason at all. Now, mystifyingly, the console works AS NEW - no freezes, no hiccups, everything works perfectly. I am beyond baffled.

And the best thing is that...agora posso falar português muito bem! O que aconteceu? Não sei!!
But yeah, I had no clue that a language setting could drive a console bananas like that.

The WiiU obviously didn't have enough RAM to handle the power of our subjuntivo.
I was wondering, should this make the news here at NL? I think it is more interesting than "Married couple met each other on Mario Kart" and at least as interesting as "78 year old man saved thanks to artificial urinary bladder created with Nintendo Labo".

For even better performance change your language setting to german. The most efficient and logical language in the world!

Well I agree with you. I think that the reason could be that when you changed the language it made a system reset of sorts and thus eliminated accumulates issues. Have you tried to change the language back to Italian?
