In Windows:

Install Powershell

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux /all /norestart

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:VirtualMachinePlatform /all /norestart

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName VirtualMachinePlatform -NoRestart

(Note: The next command failed on my system but, not a problem)
wsl --set-default-version 2

REBOOT

Login to Microsoft Store

Pick Debian (Preferred) or Ubuntu

Pin to "Start Menu" and "Taskbar"

Close Microsoft Store

CLick on Linux Icon (Version you chose)

sudo apt update

sudo apt install kwrite

exit

cmd (as administrator)
