My elderly gaming rig has started throwing dxgkrnl.sys bluescreens anytime I start WSL. I also use this box for work, and do my interactions with one of our remote linux servers via a WSL linux instance. Some googling indicated that totally removing the drivers and reinstalling them would sort it, so I used DDU to exercise the existing driver then reinstalled, but it didn't change behavior at all.

Data from the most recent dmp file (as viewed from BlueScreenView):

If anybody has any suggestions I'm all ears.
 
I see you're on W10 22H2 3570, patched to 10.10.23, which isn't bad. Patch to November, see if anything changes, then put on the latest nV GPU drivers. I would use geforce experience to do that, because it will instantly tell you of any driver updates or any other issues, but you can download the newest driver yourself if you prefer.

Reboot, retest, let us know.
