After going through all the installation process I get the following error:

enter image description here

I have installed ubuntu manually via PowerShell. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://aka.ms/wsl-ubuntu-1604 -OutFile Ubuntu.appx -UseBasicParsing

When I type in Ubuntu and hit enter, I receive a message that the service has not been started.

Edited: When I run in command line (cmd) bash enter image description here

Did you check out this post https://altis.com.au/installing-ubuntu-bash-for-windows-10/ ? It worked for me. - Aviv Lo
Are you on Windows 10 Pro or Home? Did you run Powershell in Administrator mode? - sagunms
@sagunms yes I run Powershell in Administrator mode. I run windows Pro - Roman
Did you run Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux via Powershell first before trying to download the version of Ubuntu that you have stated above? Also consider installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS or 20.04 LTS rather than 16.04.You can simply do this via Microsoft Store (after enabling the Windows Optional Feature). - sagunms
