Notes:

1. Must stop all programs associated with the Nvidia graphics card. This will allow you to unload the drivers and unbind the graphics card.
2. Run the start.sh hook multiple times in the terminal via ssh to make sure the graphics card is unloaded.
3. Start the virtual machine with virsh start win11
4. Stopping the virtual machine with virsh shutdown win11 will restore gnome-desktop.
