If you dual-boot your Linux with Windows 8.x/10 (usually for gaming), you may experienced that you cannot write or possibly your NTFS drive whether they used as system or data only. This usually caused by Windows Fast-Start HDD Lock
Current solution is to Disable Windows Fast-Start from within Windows. It requires you to boot to Windows, turn-off the fast-start from Settings - Power Option - Choose what the power buttons do - Change settings that are currently unavailable - Shutdown settings - uncheck the Turn on fast startup - full shutdown Windows - reboot to Linux
Should it failed then you can force to Turn-Off Windows Fast-Start HDD Lock from your Linux. There is the ntfsfix command (part of the ntfs-3g package), which repairs some NTFS inconsistencies, resets the NTFS journal file and schedules a NTFS consistency check for the first boot into Windows. This might corrupt your Windows installation though, so it's not recommended for system drive
However it can be useful in some cases. For example, if you're no longer have Windows 10 or 8 installed, but a NTFS partition was left in a hibernated state (Locked). In such cases, you could use:
sudo ntfsfix /dev/<NTFS_partition> (for example /dev/sdb1)
to get the partition to mount with full read/write access.
