[Solved] Error mounting a partition

Hello,
I am prompted with this message on dolphin when I try to mount the windows 11 partition

"An error occurred while accessing 'Basic data partition', the system responded: The requested operation has failed: Error mounting /dev/nvme0n1p3 at /run/media/potato/36969F8B969F4A6F: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/nvme0n1p3, missing codepage or helper program, or other error"

I am using dual boot with Arch and windows 11 installed on the same nvme drive, As I was running out of storage on my Arch I decided to use Gparted to shrink some GB's off my Windows partition and added it to my home partition on arch.
So, the problem started after I finished with gparted, everything was working fine and I was able to boot into arch and windows as well, only problem was windows partition was not mounting on my arch system like it used to before using gparted. I rarely use windows but it's convenient to be able to transfer files directly without using any removable drives.

I tried installing ntfs-utils, auto mounting from fstab and it still doesn't work
Any help or guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [Solved] Error mounting a partition

file -s /dev/nvme0n1p3
lsblk -f

When was the last time you mounted the windows partition on linux?
Can you still mount it using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G ?

PSA: 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

When was the last time you mounted the windows partition on linux?

Today before using gparted, I had to put root password every-time to mount

Can you still mount it using https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NTFS-3G ?

Checking it out..
.
Yes, it worked but only on read only mode

PSA: 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Disabled faststartup and rebooted windows and linux twice..
Auto mounting also works now with fstab, both read and write access
