but

then I restart my computer. turn on again Windows then restart Windows. and this time if I turn on Ubuntu and open Drives. they easily open, without showing error.

Answer 1

Go to power management settings on Windows and turn off fast start-up That should do the trick for you Windows basically keeps the drives in a suspended state and to prevent data loss Ubuntu cannot mount it with rw permissions.
