Where is my Windows Partition?

I'm using Ubuntu Studio. I'm using the most recent LTS, as of March 2023.

Up until yesterday, in the places section, I could freely access the windows partition. Now, it's not there.

I disabled Fast Startup in Win 11, and that didn't seem to help, unless every time I go into W11, I need to go check if it re-enabled it?

fdisk -l Lists it, but I can't seem to mount it.

I read comments elsewhere that if you boot into windows, and then shut down without logging it, it will show it. A variation is to enter bios, Start/Restart your computer to the boot menu, don’t make any selections. Just press the power button to turn off your computer, then from the boot menu, pick Ubuntu, and it will be available.

Not sure if this is related, but I just had a temp issue where I couldn't create folders/files by right-clicking. I could right-click, and create text documents, new folders, etc, previously. However, for several minutes, until it just "fixed itself," when I would right click, the create new was grayed out. I wasn't even in anything special; just my dox folder, and pix.

Any idea how to restore my Windows partition to access in Ubuntu? TY!

edit 1 So, the weird thing is, as per the 2nd pic, I go into the partition manager, KDE, and it shows it listed, and mounted. Why then can I not access it from the places menu side bar?

Ubuntu Places

Partition Manager

Edit 2 I followed this: https://www.tecmint.com/mount-windows-partition-in-ubuntu/

Terminal Outuput

But Windows Still isn't available from the places via Dolphin.

Damaged file systems are not mounted Do a manual mount from command line of the windows partition and see what notice you and fix that.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
