I've installed kolourpaint on my windows 10 from wsl, but it's not opening up on my screen. What to do ?

I updated my wsl as has been said in the webpage, but the problem has not been solved. Thanks for that link.

What error are you getting?

Did you install this? https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

I have installed WSL.

It's not error. Kolourpaint is not opening. It's already there installed.

If you're launching via the WSL command line, it should show an error.

I've shutdown my system. Shall look into it tomorrow. Thanks for your guidance :))

Wait.... It's not showing any error. The tab is there in the line under the screen, but when l'm clicking on it, the screen is not opening.
