Description

### What did you expect to happen?

according to the [doc]( https://docs.doomemacs.org/latest/modules/ui/workspaces/#/usage/session-persistence)

> By default, your session is autosaved when you quit Emacs (or disable persp-mode).

### What actually happened?

However I tested with latest doom-emacs on windows with emacs 28.1, seems the session is not autosaved either quitting emacs or disabling persp-mode

### Describe your attempts to resolve the issue

N/A

### Steps to reproduce

1. open emacs
2. open the folder where the session file should be saved, for me it is `~\.emacs.d\.local\etc\workspaces`
3. load session file from the above folder
4. made some buffer operation by open new files etc.
5. disable `persp-mode`, found no update on the session file
6. quit emacs by `C-x C-c`, found no update on the session file

Research direction

Start with the session-persistence documentation for the workspaces module and reproduce the report on Windows with Emacs 28.1. Check whether disabling persp-mode and quitting with C-x C-c update the session file under ~/.emacs.d/.local/etc/workspaces. Done means both operations reliably save the changed workspace state.
