Windows 10: Automatically enable performance mode for specific applications

Hi,Windows automatically switches performance profiles when I play games.I'm talking about the performance profiles under Settings>System>Power and BatteryWhen opening a game, it automatically puts the device into high performance.I was wondering whether I can also select specific applications where this happens, even though they are not games. I would like to add e.g. VMWare Player etc, where I need a performance boost in CPU/GPU over the "Recommended" Power setting.I can do it manually, but it would be nice if it happened automatically.Hardware is a Surface Pro 8, i7/16GB/256GB

laptop doesnt boot automatically

This is what happened.

1. Did a repair install and later disabled hibertnate in CMD.
2. Enabled legacy option ROM in BIOS.
3. After a few times startup ( i used the system in such mode for 5 days), changed boot option back to default.
4. Vola!! It boots automatically to win10 without any keypress. Tested it with many starts to confirm the same.
5. Re-enabled hibernate option using CMD and later selected Fast Startup.
6. System booted normally, without the need for any keypress.

I do not know exactly whether such steps resolved the problem or what else happened, hence cannot suggest above steps.

Many thanks to all members who helped to troubleshoot problems.
