Why aren't my Lumia 530 apps loading?

Lumia 530 apps not loading

Hello all,

I have an annoying issue with my Lumia 530. I get a loading screen on almost all my apps. They don't have their icons. I tried rebooting (soft and hard). Still the same thing.

Can you please advise?

Thanks mates

Hello and welcome to Windows Central.

Are your apps installed on an SD Card? If yes, have you tried moving them back to your phone and see if the issues persist?

Hi again.

I tried to but it won't work. The app just doesn't move to phone. I did install an app on my phone instead of sd and it worked. I noticed that only my SD apps are the problem.

Ant advice?

Thanks

Then it appears that the solution would be to uninstall all your apps in your SD Card, remove your SD Card, then either install them in your phone or in a new SD Card.

The current SD Card seems to be broken, and the only solution in that case is to get a new card or not to use an SD Card (since they are known for instability).
