[xubuntu-users] file system window read-only

[Alessandro Lin]

Thank you for the info.

"fast startup" is_not_  enabled in my Window 10 . Box is absent.
But there are also data windows 10 hibernate.

I try the window command  powercfg /H off ( as recommended with the link you posted )
but it does not work because in window 10 the super user is disabled by default, as in Ubuntu and you have to activate it.

In short, Window 10 has raised great barriers to defend against the intrusion of other operating systems.
Maybe the best thing is to delete window 10 and install Wine or something similar...

Regards
Alessandro

PS It's too complicated to write plain non-html text with Thunderbird.
