How to start Xorg on WSL?

I have installed Windows subsystem for Linux on my Windows 10 laptop. This is a simple terminal tool which does not have graphical interface at all. I therefore installed everything together with the Xorg, in order to set up the Graphical User Interface.

Unfortunately, when I ran startx after installation, it reported error message 'çan't find /etc/X11/.Xauthority'. I don't know what do I lack, because I have done everything I can.

I saw a software in Microsoft shop named Xserver, which should work, I will have a try.
