When I type jupyter notebook in the ubuntu bash installed on windows 10, a file is opened inside the shell which looks like this 

Jupyter1NotebookNrequirespJavaScript.g one-time-token-authenticated connection from 127.0.0.1
Please enable it to proceed.

I tried to type jupyter notebook --no_browser the notebook starts but it keeps stopping reconnecting all the time. Also the answer here didn't help.

What happens is that Ubuntu on Windows, just as a normal Ubuntu installation of jupyter would, tries to open the default browser, only that in "Ubuntu on Windows"'s case, it can't open the actual default browser of your Windows system and instead opens "w3m". Therefore, you need to quit "w3m" by hitting Q -> y. Then, you should see the output that you would expect when starting "jupyter notebook": 

[C 12:30:49.819 NotebookApp]

Copy/paste this URL into your browser when you connect for the first time,
to login with a token:
    http://localhost:8888/?token=846b1a3b51e3c3adb2cb756a887f178975de1e11c90ada10

From there on out, the procedure is exactly the same as normally. Copy the provided URL with token into your actual Windows browser, and code along.
