Re:doubt this NTFS driver will read/write a 'fast-startup' suspended Win 10 filesystem correctly.

In truth, Microsoft should (in 2021) play safe and switch off 'fast-startup' by default if it can see there are other partitions on the system disk, that could potentially boot another operating system (i.e. Linux) and read the Windows partition while it is in this 'iffy' fast-startup suspended state, but Microsoft developers still think there will only ever be one operating system running on a laptop/desktop, and that's Windows.

(Same can be said too, running and using Windows 7's (older version of) chkdsk on a Windows 10 system partition that sits alongside it on the system disk, it'll end in tears. Though, it's fine to use (newer version of) chkdsk from Windows 10 on a Windows 7 system partition).
