Some (perhaps only older installations? including early W10?)  Windows ntfs drives need to be mounted "mount -t ntfs3" because otherwise the default ntfs-3g is used. Then a lot of  the Windows files will be OK but some will have a flashing red surround when viewed with  ls and ls -l says "unsupported reparse tag" and they cannot be accessed. Hopefully you won't get this though.

That 1 line on fstab worked. Using windows 7 for windows mount, so I was kinda worried with that ntfs-3g issue^, but it didn't happen.
mount -a also was helpful for confirming no issues, I didn't know about that command

Thank you all, I can finally boot linux without mounting as often as i type username/password!
