Observed similar symptoms on Ubuntu 24.04 on a NTFS partition on a USB SSD. (wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/XXXXXXXX, missing codepageor helper program, or other error).

I'm not too sure if I should report in this item or in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/2063985

The partition is not a Windows system partition. It "merely" has data.

The partition mounted without issue with Ubuntu 22.04 on the same laptop; and still mounts without issue on another Ubuntu 22.04 laptop.

After sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb5, with 24.04, the partition appear as mounted in Disks. And files can be accessed in Files/Nautilus.

sudo ntfsfix -d /dev/sdb5
[sudo] password for XXXXXXX:
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sdb5 was processed successfully.

Still OK after I "safely removed drive" and reconnected.
Not tested after a reboot.
Good luck.

sudo apt-cache policy ntfs-3g

UPDATE:
Similar symptoms, and solution/workaround with ntfsfix for another drive. This one from Lacie, also NTFS.
