Environment

Windows build number: Windows 10 10.0.18363version (x64-based)2004 build 19041
Your Distribution version: Kali 2020.3
Whether the issue is on WSL 2 and/or WSL 1: Linux version 4.19.128-microsoft-standard (WSL 2)

Steps to reproduce

user@host:~$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install kali-win-kex
user@host:~$ kex --sl

        Checking /root/.cache/sessions/xfce4-session-ipv4:0
        Enabling SL mode
        Waited 100 seconds for desktop, giving up
        Saving Win-KeX SL session
        Started Win-KeX SL

Expected behavior

I would like the GUI environment to start on top of the Windows like here: https://www.kali.org/docs/wsl/win-kex-sl/win-kex-sl.png

Actual behavior

There is nothing happening. I have tried to use "-w" parameter also but after 100 (300) seconds the process is closed. I can open Kali in Window Mode with kex --win but the SL Mode doesn't work.

Thank you for help.
