Same here, luckily I installed it in a clone of my regular Ubuntu under another name. Ths is WSL2, Ubuntu 22.04.3 on Windows 11.

Creating the clone changed the default user to root (seems to be a bug in wsl with export --vhd and then import --vhd under another name, DefaultUid in the registry is set to 0 for the import).

After installing the GUI, I can start WSL when logging in as root, but not as an ordinary user.

wsl -d distroname -u myname gives a black screen for 60 seconds, then "Login timed out". Logging in as root and then issuing login myname gives "System is booting up. Unprivileged users are not permitted to log in yet." Must be a problem with systemd in 22.04/WSL, it never reaches the end of the boot sequence.
