[SOLVED] Problem accessing directory on dual-boot

[clstyn1303]

I have a dual-boot system, Win10 and Mint 20.1
When I boot into Mint, I can look for the folders saved in my D directory from windows. But for some reason, I can not do changes to them (save files, save changes in file, paste files, etc). It shows an error that tell if the disk is read-only. Is there any solutions? Sorry I'm new to this. Thanks in advance

Some info that may give a clue

That's because your Windows was not fully shut down. You can fix the issue with a terminal command but doing that may cause data loss in Windows, so the better course of action is to always shutdown Windows completely and not use fast booting, which causes Windows to store data on the drive and lock it, hence the problem.
