Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Pressing Windows key while using VM in QEMU will prompt Start Menu from Windows 11, so we haven't full passthrough in WSLg.
Describe the solution you'd like
Fully passthrough in WSLg window.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Actually I was able to start QEMU with VNC Server and use VNC Client but is not the ideal solution.
Additional context
Actually this problem persist in all WLSg applications.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the Windows-key behavior in WSLg with QEMU and compare it with the VNC setup; define the keyboard-routing scope first, then verify that the Windows key reaches WSLg applications without opening the Windows 11 Start menu.
