I have a NTFS partition. Before upgrading to Ubuntu 22.04, it was working perfectly and I could read/write/delete files with no problem.

However, after upgrading I can only read the disk and it says that it is a fuse filesystem, as you can see in the following screenshot.

Ntfs Properties

How do I fix it so it can be read/write/delete again?

For my case, The command sudo dmesg | tail shows:

ntfs3: Unknown parameter 'windows_names'

It seems the new ntfs3 driver does not support the 'windows_names' flag anymore. Base on this suggestion I made /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf file containing:

[defaults]
ntfs_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID
ntfs_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,nls,umask,dmask,fmask,nohidden,sys_immutable,discard,force,sparse,showmeta,prealloc,no_acs_rules,acl,noatime

Try this in terminal:

sudo apt remove ntfsprogs && sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Then reboot your system.

Format your disk with NTFS format.

sudo mkfs -t ntfs /dev/sdc1

If you see error like " mkfs: failed to execute mkfs.ntfs: No such file or directory " then, install ntfs-3g package > sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g

After that, Format with NTFS, and, you'll access ntfs with no issue.
