I have installed GNU Emacs from [Choco][1], windows application not Linux one so every GUI mode works. With that one ansi-term doesn't work. Other option was is [Emacs-WSL Guide][2] but I didn't tested it. It seems that it work with [ansi-term][3]. It's Emacs from Linux and the intro to the guide say that it show how make it work with GUI.
