(using wsl2 debian - bullsey (upgrade from buster)

# Setting the DISPLAY variable in the .profile
# You may set the DISPLAY variable in your ~/.profile file. I used the following code:
# set DISPLAY to use X terminal in WSL
# in WSL2 the localhost and network interfaces are not the same than windows

if grep -q WSL2 /proc/version; then
    # execute route.exe in the windows to determine its IP address
    DISPLAY=$(route.exe print | grep 0.0.0.0 | head -1 | awk '{print $4}'):0.0

else
    # In WSL1 the DISPLAY can be the localhost address
    if grep -q icrosoft /proc/version; then
        DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
    fi

fi

like:

route.exe print | grep 0.0.0.0 | head -1 | awk '{print $4}'
