>Solution :

With dual boot Linux and Windows you have to disable fast boot in Windows, if you have not done it, you can do so by following these instructions:

  1. Go to "Control Panel > Power Options"

  2. To the left, click "Choose what the power buttons do."

  3. Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable."

  4. Uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)" then save the changes.

  5. Done.

Control Panel is harder to get to on recent versions of Windows, it’s easier to press Windows + X, click "Power Options", then at the bottom click "Additional power settings".
