PI-Hole 6 DNS properly not working on Windows Server 2019

Expected Behaviour:

[PIHOLE 6 not working well like the pihole5, the interface section shows DOWN without any clue, all settings default but still DNS queries not coming if the setting default set to "Allow only local requests" after choose "Permit all origins" shows DNS queries come in pihole dashboard but still it wont effect end user DNS. blocking also not working by List which is apply on groups:
-WIndows Server 2019
-Intel Corei5]

Actual Behaviour:

[Its only shows DNS queries record in dashboard once i select to "Permit all origins" in DNS Settings]



Please upload a debug log and post just the token URL that is generated after the log is uploaded by running the following command from the Pi-hole host terminal:

pihole -d

or if you run your Pi-hole as a Docker container:

docker exec -it <pihole-container-name-or-id> pihole -d

where you substitute <pihole-container-name-or-id> as required.

I have install this via github

i dont have idea where i should run this commands that you mention, this is windows server, should i run this in CMD or Shell in pihole installed directory ?

also, now Pihole again stop working, even i cant open dashboard after the new core update installed, i install that update from pihole installation directory in windows by running its exe cmd file called "Pi-hole System Update "

now it shows problem. i attached screen.shot


It looks like you are using Pi-hole using WSL.

This is not official Pi-hole installation.

Apparently you are using DesktopECHO - Pi-Hole-for-WSL1.
If this is the case, you should ask for help here:
