So i had a perfectly good system running with 22.04 LTS. was asked to upgrade to 24.04 LTS which i did 2 days ago. Now my internal storage drive which is formatted to NTFS and as all my storage on it wont mount ? WTF people say they choose Ubuntu because windows is such a pain.
I have tried through terminal some commands to try and get it to mount but no good. Can anyone offer an easy solution or do i have to go back to windows to clear up this mess.

The bug is discribed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/2062972
The answer of morbius1 (post #18) does the job:
echo 'blacklist ntfs3' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/disable-ntfs3.conf

I had the problem that - after a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04.01 - an external hard drive formatted with NTFS wouldn't mount. I tried plugging it into Windows 10 (drive not recognised) and Lubuntu 24.04 (gave same report as Ubuntu about the FS). I took the plunge and used the Discs utility in Ubuntu to 'Repair Filesystem' (it is an option that appears if you click on the obvious wheel icon in Discs). It worked! Immediate access to external hard drive and precious files.

Apparently, ntfs-3g is replaced in favor of ntfs in Ubuntu 24.04.
In your fstab, something like this should work:
UUID="333ABC2478DB2FF5" /media/user/wind ntfs discard,rw,nodev,noexec,auto,nouser,async,locale=en_US.utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0002 0 0
Adjust with your actual disk uuid, mount path and other optional values.
