Additional context

[vonDubenshire]

WebView and Chromium based browsers have never properly worked on WSA, this is due to support needing to be made to those apps more than anything -- do not count on it. It was never supposed to really work unless someone built an app for it. Maybe try Firefox or a non-webview non-chrome based browser

[Schefflin]

Choose "Vulkan driver" to "System Default" in WSA external settings. Open chrome, enter "chrome://flags/", and then move the mouse cursor to an approximate position (usually in the middle of the top of the screen when it's full screen), click on the search box, press "gpu" and press Enter key. Click the search box again, you would see the screen. Enable "Override software rendering list" "GPU rasterization" "Zero-copy rasterizer" "Enables Display Compositor to use a new gpu thread" "Skia Graphite" "Use new gpu scheduler", reopen chrome. Enjoy!

some devices can work with "None".

"Skia Graphite" is the only option that is required actually to fix the issue. Alternatively set Vulkan driver to "None", at least temporary to get the Settings page visible and switch the Skia backend. After switching Vulkan drivers you need to Shut down WSL before it takes effect.
