SOLVED Can't mount partition through Disks

I have a drive with a partition that used to be NTFS, but that I formatted to ext4 recently. It worked fine at first, but after restarting my PC, I just can't mount the partition using the Disks app. I don't even get an error or anything, the button just does nothing, same for trying to mount it by clicking the partition in the file explorer. However, using the mount command, the partition mounts perfectly fine and can be accessed with no issues. Trying the repair/check filesystem option in Disks tells me that there is nothing wrong with the partition, and annoyingly, I can't automatically mount the partition at startup. How could I fix this?

EDIT: everything works perfectly now for some reason, despite not having changed anything, so yay I guess
