WSL won't shutdown

I installed windows WSL recently to use kali-linux. When I'm done with my Linux system I want to shut down my wsl by wsl --shutdown. This seems to work until I opened task manager and I see VMMEM is still running. Next, it open my cmd again and when I do wsl -l -v, there it is kali-linux running again without me starting it. Then I want to see what happen so when I keep my task manager open and then I shut down wsl. Indeed VMMEM is terminated for a few seconds until it goes back on and when I check kali-linux is running again. Is this normal? because VMMEM is taking so much memory around 500MB when I'm not using it.
