PS C:\WSL\Amazon2> .\Amazon2.exe config --default-user user

Does a user named "user" exist?
To specify a default user, the user must exist.

If it is not created, you can run the following command after rebooting to solve the problem

PS C:\WSL\Amazon2> .\Amazon2.exe
Using: C:\WSL\Amazon2\rootfs.tar.gz

PS C:\WSL\Amazon2> .\Amazon2.exe run useradd -m -g users -G wheel -s /bin/bash user
PS C:\WSL\Amazon2> .\Amazon2.exe config --default-user user
PS C:\WSL\Amazon2> .\Amazon2.exe
[user@DESKTOP-NOBTN9F Amazon2]$
