I am able to mount ntfs drives automatically using Disks app in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
However, I am unable to write to the NTFS partions.
Below are my ntfs partions as per Disks app.
- /dev/sda3 (/dev/disk/by-uuid/162451E92451CC7D)
- /dev/sda4 (/dev/disk/by-uuid/B696F3C596F38461)
Is there are GUI based solution for enabling NTFS write support?
Why isnt it enabled by default?

to mount the partitions in read-write mode:
run ntfsfix /dev/sdaX to resolve the problem. then remount the partitions.
