Help with Linux terminal on Windows

I have enabled Windows subsystem for Linux by running Windows Powershell as administrator and ran the following:

$ Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

After that I restarted my computer and installed Ubuntu. Then i ran the following commands:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt upgrade --assume-yes

My problem is basically that when I'm using Windows CLI, the linux commands are not accepted.
I have searched online for possible mistakes I have made, but so far I haven't been able to solve this issue. Any possible help or suggestions would be very appreciated.

Both my OS and the Ubuntu versions are 64 bits.

Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu Linux terminal
