Does this answer your question? Running GUI apps under WSL. Also see What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux?. Thanks! — NotTheDr01ds, Jun 30 '22 at 14:11
Ack to @NotTheDr01ds but if you do not want a GIU in the first place you might consider running qemus GUI frontent in another way. Look for the -display argument which allows the gui to be served via spice or vnc. Or try text on the console via -curses or even no graphic at all with -nographic. There are many options, you have to pick what suits you best. — Christian Ehrhardt, Jul 01 '22 at 05:24
@ChristianEhrhardt Great point. Running QEMU without the X-based GUI would be the better option under WSL on Windows 10. — NotTheDr01ds, Jul 01 '22 at 05:37
