Thanks, I'll keep this information for reference.  I've noticed as I migrate more and more of my applications to linux and wine I'm finding less and less need to reboot into windows and the drives haven't gone RO for a couple days.

Hi,
For Windows 10, you can disable the option like mentionned here :
https://www.windowscentral.com/how-disable-windows-10-fast-startup
For Windows 7, just to be safe, open a command line in administrator mode (run as administrator) and type :powercfg -H OFFThis will disable hibernation.
I think the read only will also happen when the disk is in a "dirty" / not sut down properly state. But this I'm not 100% certain.
Cheers!

Will try this to do true shutdown instead of hybrid shutdown.  Thanks.

Hold the shift key down when you shut down Windows. (Press and hold first and select shutdown and don't release it until the computer goes off)

Oh no, just mounted them as normal after I installed LL.  They are r/w:
Code: [Select]
 /mnt> ls -la
total 52
drwxr-xr-x  6 root root  4096 Jan  4 20:38 .
drwxr-xr-x 26 root root  4096 Jan  2 23:29 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Jan  4 20:38 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Jan  1 17:24 ftp
drwxrwxrwx  1 root root  8192 Dec 28 22:14 windows10
drwxrwxrwx  1 root root 28672 Jan  4 19:28 windows7

Just started doing this yesterday.  I was reading online if windows drives are not unmounted correctly they can require CHKDSK to be run so they go to RO until checked.  After I reboot and run each OS from its drive natively once, then they go back to RW on LL.  Really weird.  Maybe I should be shutting down instead of restarting so much.  I know when I log out and log back in, my wifi network won't come back up.  I have to do a shutdown and reboot.

Did you chmod the drives?

For a couple of days my windows7 and windows10 drives have been going read-only and I have to reboot and check their filesystems.

They are auto-mounted via fstab:
Code: [Select]
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=a2fbbae1-060e-4751-bec4-653e2c031c9f /  ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
UUID=CC36728936727474 /mnt/windows10 ntfs defaults 0 0
UUID=6460FFA960FF7FDA /mnt/windows7 ntfs defaults 0 0
/swapfile                                 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

What could be causing this issue?  It just started yesterday and happened today a couple of times after I restarted LL.  Are they not being unmounted properly?
