gdbus.error:org.freedesktop.policykit1.error.failed:unix process subject does not have uid set – Ubuntu 21.04

Recently I upgraded from Ubuntu 20.04 to 21.04, and after the upgrade I could not access one of my Windows NTFS drives. The error message is:

gdbus.error:org.freedesktop.policykit1.error.failed:unix process subject does not have uid set.

Other NTFS drives open, but this one gives an error.

>Solution :

Exact same problem here – couldn’t access the drive via "Files" (Nautilus), with same error message.
It appeared to be mounted, though. So I copied the files I needed via the terminal.
After that the Disk showed up normally, also after unmounting/mounting it.
