but if i run the same command on ubuntu18.04 on wsl it works and gives me status of ssh

i mentioned ssh here as an example for any service
can you help me please
i know this may be not the place to report such problem ,hope you can help

Arch uses systemd for service, but WSL does not support systemd...
There is no service command in the arch.

You can execute the command to start the service manually.
Or you can install a service manager such as OpenRC which is not officially supported by Arch.

how to execute the command to start the service manually

Since there are many service files in /usr/lib/systemd/system, please see there.

probably can start with /usr/bin/sshd -D

This project was started before the official store version launcher code was released.
To be published on the Windows store, it need to review by Microsoft.
Store applications do not have flexibility, multiple installations etc can not be done.

OpenRC

can you provide me with a manual to install and activate openrc in arch_wsl ,,because in arch wiki it says add it to kernel paramter ,,i don't know how to do this ,,there is no grub menu to add kernel parameter on it
