Run WSL command in non-interactive mode (Fall Creators Update)

Question

Before Fall Creators Update I could run Ubuntu binaries in one-liner via such command:

%WinDir%\system32\bash.exe -c "echo 123"

But after the update, I can't find how to do the same thing with MarketPlace-installed distro. Is there a way to run such commands in cmd.exe?

Why can't? Bash.exe and wsl.exe always run your default distro. Change default distro by wslconfig.exe

Or use ubuntu.exe to run Ubuntu, opensuse.exe to run OpenSUSE. Open

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

to see all your distro launcher.
