Disk partitions became read-only

Question

I dual boot Windows 10 on my laptop. Today I noticed that I can't create files on the other partitions of the disk. Everything is fine on the Ubuntu partition. Running fsck on that partition returned

fsck from util-linux 2.28.2

and nothing more.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the recent Windows update. Everything seems to be fine a few days ago.

Are "the other partitions" Windows/Ntfs partitions, or ext3/4 ? — Soren A, Jan 31 '17 at 08:52

I just discovered that in Windows 10 the Fast Startup option is turned on again. Switching it off fixed the problem!

Some Windows updates do that. – Jan 31 '17 at 14:40
