Switching back to host constantly restarts window manager after VM shutdown

[nocatix]

Hey. I followed your guide and am able to boot into Windows and gaming works fine for the most part. However, when I shut down the VM, I can't get back into my host. Well, I can, but the window manager keeps restarting every couple of seconds, so I can't do anything other than trying to be quick enough to hit restart in the menu. The VM does show it's status as Shutoff indicating that it was a clean shutdown.

Besides the video card, I also passthrough the usb host controllers, the audio controller as well as my wifi card.

My system:
Ryzen 7 3700X
GeForce RTX 3070
Pop Os! 21.04

My start.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# Helpful to read output when debugging
set -x

## Load the config file with our environmental variables
source "/etc/libvirt/hooks/kvm.conf"

# Stop display manager (KDE specific)
systemctl stop display-manager

# Unbind VTconsoles
echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/bind
echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

# Unbind EFI-Framebuffer
echo efi-framebuffer.0 > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/efi-framebuffer/unbind

# Avoid a race condition
sleep 3

# Unload all Nvidia drivers
modprobe -r nvidia_drm
modprobe -r nvidia_modeset
modprobe -r drm_kms_helper
modprobe -r nvidia
modprobe -r i2c_nvidia_gpu
modprobe -r drm

# Unbind the GPU from display driver
virsh nodedev-detach $VIRSH_GPU_VIDEO
virsh nodedev-detach $VIRSH_GPU_AUDIO

# Load VFIO kernel module
modprobe vfio
modprobe vfio_pci
modprobe vfio_iommu_type1

My revert.sh:

#!/bin/bash
set -x

## Load the config file
source "/etc/libvirt/hooks/kvm.conf"

# Unload VFIO-PCI Kernel Driver
modprobe -r vfio_pci
modprobe -r vfio_iommu_type1
modprobe -r vfio

# Re-Bind GPU to AMD Driver
virsh nodedev-reattach $VIRSH_GPU_VIDEO
virsh nodedev-reattach $VIRSH_GPU_AUDIO


# Rebind VT consoles
echo 1 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon0/bind
echo 0 > /sys/class/vtconsole/vtcon1/bind

nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info > /dev/null 2>&1
# Re-Bind EFI-Framebuffer
echo "efi-framebuffer.0" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/efi-framebuffer/bind

#Load nvidia driver
modprobe nvidia_drm
modprobe nvidia_modeset
modprobe drm_kms_helper
modprobe nvidia
modprobe i2c_nvidia_gpu
modprobe drm

# Restart Display Manager
systemctl start display-manager
