Windows 10: How do I turn down the resolution for a specific program.

I recently got a 4k monitor, and unfortunately this caused my already not powerful laptop to run my games (Valorant in this case) even slower than before. I'm wondering if there's a way to make my laptop run specifically Valorant in a lower resolution, but then keep everything else the same. If I try to change the resolution in Valorant itself, either everything on my laptop goes down in resolution as well, or the window shrinks to be a fraction of my screen.

specific screen resolutions for specific programs

on previous versions of windows, one could choose the screen resolution for specific programs or apps. I cant find it in windows10, all I can find in it's place is one screen resolution option "640 x 480" and after a long time of searching for other ways
to do this, it's too time consuming...

was that setting moved or gotten rid of?

640 x 480 is way too small of a resolution for what I need. My 1440p display is too large for the programs I am using and some have settings that I can easily and quickly change In the settings, but many do not. Also searching each folder with no clue which
one contains the resolution is only successful a fraction of the time.

If there is no solution for windows 10, I have an nvidia video card, if there is a way to do it on that? please let me know, I haven't found it yet on that either.

I know that I can go into the settings of windows10 and change the resolution for everything as a universal setting and same for the nvidia video card, but it gets old and I cant always get the resolution that I want or I have to play around with it each
time to get it right again. ( because I don't remember the resolution I used before)

Im looking for preset resolutions for individual apps and programs., so I can spend the time to get the resolution that looks best once and be done with it and not have to test and correct it everytime.

thanks your help will be greatly appreciated.
