The above answer didn't solve my problem but I kept searching and now I solve my problem and want to share Solutions here and Maybe this Solution will help others.

First Run command "killall nautilus"

Second Run "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdd1"

Replace sdd1 with your drive and thats it.

I think you have to shutdown the windows 10 properly first in order to access the drives from ubuntu. There are two ways to do this. In both ways you have to log in to your windows 10. The first is permanent and you have to disable fast boot/fast shutdown from settings. Then restart your pc and log in to ubuntu. You should be able to access your drives from File Browser.

The second way is a shortcut. That is first log into windows and restart. After restarting, log into ubuntu and you should be able to access the drives. Note that if you again access windows then you have to restart (not shutdown) and access ubuntu 18.04.

  • thanks for your Reply. I did all you mentioned but it didn't work for me. but i just Run Command in Terminal "Killall nautilus" and then i Run second Command "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdd1" where i change sdd1 with my own drive and it work perfectly. Now every time i start my ubuntu my other drives of Windows are already writeable.

Go in Ubuntu to the file system. (via nautlilus - nemo or terminal) Go to the folder media or mnt (depends) and open this folder as administrator. (most easy methode is via nautilus or nemo) You will see the drives of Windows. For each file change the ownerchip from root to you own name. Close everyting and reboot.
