I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04 dual-boot alongside pre-installed Windows 10 on my laptop (on the same SSD disk, but separate partitions) with a UEFI boot loader.

now I can not write, create or edit anything on my NTFS HDD partitions. I've searched for the problem and tested the below configuration for the mount point in /etc/fstab but unfortunately, it doesn't work.

LABEL=Learnings /mnt/Learnings ntfs rw,exec,users,umask=000,dmask=000,fmask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000,x-gvfs-show 0 0

this is the ls -l command result on an NTFS partition which denotes I have the right access to files and folders.

-rwxrwxrwx 1 mohsen mohsen    78 Feb 16 21:30  /mnt/Learnings/Note.txt
drwxrwxrwx 1 mohsen mohsen     0 Apr 23 21:56  /mnt/Learnings/TEMP

also, it should be noted that:

  1. I've disabled the hibernation mode in windows 10 with powercfg.exe /hibernate off command.
  2. I'm not sure if it relates, but I've recently twice experienced the blue screen page on Windows while I was backing up the disk and also while I was trying to restart the OS.

Thanks in Advance, Mohsen.

Actually you have to mount the ntfs partion with read write access as below:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /mnt/ntfs/

From man ntfs-3g: ntfs-3g is an NTFS driver, which can create, remove, rename, move files, directories, hard links, and streams; it can read and write files, including streams, sparse files and transparently compressed files; it can handle special files like symbolic links, devices, and FIFOs; moreover it provides standard management of file ownership and permissions, including POSIX ACLs.
