wslg: The whole PC freezes after running wsl --shutdown with NVIDIA GPU driver

Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.22598.200, and also in previous builds.
Your Distribution version: Tested in Ubuntu 20.04, 21.04 and 22.04.
Your WSLg version: 1.0.33

Steps to reproduce

Run some gui apps in WSL, then run wsl --shutdown from cmd or Powershell. Tested using latest Nvidia drivers.

WSL logs: No errors in logs since this happens when wsl --shutdown is run and this also makes the user to forcefully shutdown the computer. Solution seems to be that you need to ensure all gui related apps are killed before running wsl --shutdown , or run wsl -t Ubuntu && wsl --shutdown. But this does not always work.

Expected behavior

Successfully shutdown WSL after running wsl --shutdown .

Actual behavior

The whole PC freezes (including mouse and all keyboard combinations) and becomes unresponsive, after running wsl --shutdown. The only way to get out of this situation is a force shutdown of PC.

same issue:

Chrome occasionally freezes, trying to resolve by

wsl --shutdown

The whole system hangs and needs to be rebooted.
