gedit is trying to run a grahpical application and to run those applications, you need an X server like VcXsrv or Xming.
So i'd install one of those.
Close your cmd or terminal and launch the X server.
Open your cmd and set the DISPLAY, like: export DISPLAY=0:0 and run that gedit command again.
This works for most people.
