Try this (in Electrum):
How To Import Segwit WIF from Bitcoin Core to Electrum

For P2WPKH addresses (Bech32, starting with 'bc1')
This time we'll add p2wpkh: in front of the private key.
For example
Code:
p2wpkh:5PrivateKey
This should generate the corresponding Bech32 address

it didn't with WIF Private key (begin with 5). it must be converting into WIF Compressed (begin with K or L) to import that method.



I might keep it running too just to help the network.  Wink
Only if you run a full node.
