The only way, as far I know, the files need to be written on a Windows drive format, like FAT or NTFS. If your Linux system is FUBARed, download a distro that can be instlled on a USB stick and boot from there. Then start moving the files to an external storage.

Thank you for your suggestions, but I found this article online and followed these methods

Opening File Explorer from the WSL Terminal
Launching the root from File Explorer

After doing the tasks properly, I can easily access the Linux file to Windows subsystem. :jackpot
