Are you running a v5.15 kernel with the new in-tree NTFS driver?
Are you using the ntfs3g FUSE driver?
Are you using the old, read-only NTFS in-tree driver?

I'm using kernel: 5.4.72-gentoo
Under: File systems:
DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems:
<*> MSDOS fs support
- <*> VFAT (Windows-95) fs support
- <*> NTFS file system support
- [*] NTFS write support
After installing sys-fs/ntfs3g
It keeps telling I don't have:
CONFIG_FUSE_FS: is not set when it should be.
I think I need to enable:
< > FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support

OK, that's what is referred to as the old read-only in-tree driver. It
has had experimental write support for a long time, but people still
call it "the read-only driver". Most people "in the know" seem to
advise that the write support should not be used, and many advise not
using that driver it at all. The ntfs-3g FUSE driver is usually
recommended instead.
I think I need to enable:
< > FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) support
You need that if you want to use the ntfs-3g FUSE driver.
IIRC, the ntfs-3g driver supports a number features that the old
in-tree read-only driver (which you are using) does not. The
"windows_name" option appears to be one of those.
If you want to use the windows_name option, you'll probably have to
disable the in-tree driver and use the ntfs-3g one. It might be
possible to use ntfs-3g without disabling the in-tree driver, but that
sounds like a good way to get confused...

Because it is read-only for all practical purposes. Unless there's
been a recent improvement its write support technically works, but
it can only change the contents of existing files and cannot create
new ones. Works fine for a read-only driver, but not much point to
using it unless you're an insane nutjob like me who occasionally
needs to boot from NTFS and so needs a driver that can be compiled
in.
