thanks for following up. I have attached my journal.txt and you will find the same error in at as in the gnome-shell gitlab bug `Window manager error: Another compositing manager is already running on screen 0 on display “:0”`.
Also, the same behaviour occurs as if I close all windows before restarting, it doesn't crash which is what made me think that they are related. I also only started noticing this when I started to test 23.10 in gnome-boxes prior to the release (I frequently do gnome-shell restarts as I contribute to extensions) and noticed this behaviour right away as I never had the issue with 23.04. As soon as I upgraded my machine, the restarts started to crash (which makes testing extensions quite tedious). note that I cleared up the journal before running this test. I also cleared up my crash logs to see but it's not generating any report. There are a number of gnome-shell crashes linked to my woopside-id, including the following: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/0b660737-7287-11ee-9b14-fa163ec44ecd https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/14ef2be8-195c-11ee-b183-fa163e55efd0 https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/1a4daae8-0925-11ee-bcf5-fa163ef35206 I am not sure the above reports are directly connected to this issue but based on the fact that many people seem to be having the same issue since gnome45 is out, this doesn't look like an isolated issue.

The only way not to crash it is to close all applications before restarting gnome-shell. I have verified this too.
