Ownership to mounted volumes (ntfs)

Problem and solution

After some Windows crashdown on dual-boot system all of the volumes mounted in Debian Bullseye in /media/user/ changed ownership from user to root. In order to solve the problem I followed Saurabh Barjatiya’s post. His approach didn’t succeed at first – while trying to run proposed commands system responded with:

Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)
Could not mount read-write, trying read-only
The disk contains an unclean file system (0, 0).
Metadata kept in Windows cache, refused to mount.
Falling back to read-only mount because the NTFS partition is in an
unsafe state. Please resume and shutdown Windows fully (no hibernation
or fast restarting.)

I bypassed this error with Muddassir Nazir’s solution, which was said to be risky for Windows system, but at the time of writing this I didn’t care about it – I hadn’t booted Windows for a very long time anyway.
