No, you do NOT have to mount the drive. Just boot windows into rescue mode and
then got to the DOSshell and do chckdsk on the correct volume (C: , D: , F:
whatever).

Just "mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /my_mountpoint" should work.
If it can not be mounted, then your filesystem is corrupt. Exfat is not well to
fix with linux, you should do it in windows. I suggest, not to use an installed
windows, as windows (boah, crap!) will automatically want to mount any newly
seen partition, which is bad for fixing using chkdsk.
So my suggestion, use a rescue-windows, must not be based on Win10, even an
old WinXP lifefile will work for that.
The other way is, to boot an installed windows into rescue-mode and then you
can fix the drive with chkdsk, too.
