[🐛 Bug]: Multi tabs, after calling closeWindow , switchWindow fails with 'WebDriverError: no such window: target window already closed'

### Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

- [X] I have read the [Contributing Guidelines on issues](https://github.com/webdriverio/webdriverio/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-new-issues).

### WebdriverIO Version

9.2.11

### Node.js Version

v20.12.1

### Mode

Standalone Mode

### Which capabilities are you using?

```typescript
'wdio:enforceWebDriverClassic': true
```


### What happened?

I upgraded from wdio v8.33.0 to v9.2.11

### What is your expected behavior?

After opening more than 2 tabs if i close the latest, I expect to be able to switchWindow to another opened tab. 
It is not more possible with wdiov9 (it was ok with 8.33.0) as it fails with WebDriverError: no such window: target window already closed error.



### How to reproduce the bug.

```javascript
describe('open multiple tabs and closeWindow then switchWindow', function () {
  it('open multiple tabs and closeWindow then switchWindow', async function () {
    await browser.url('https://www.google.com/');
    await browser.newWindow('https://webdriver.io/docs/api/');
    await browser.newWindow('https://github.com/');
    await browser.pause(1000);
    await browser.closeWindow();
    await browser.switchWindow('google');

    /*
  //getting current handle also triggers the error
  let currentHandle = await browser.getWindowHandle();
  */
  });
});

```
