Focus Game Window When Entering VR Mode

I have a Ryzen 9950x3d CPU, it has a structure that has half of the CPU cores(CCD 0) have extra L3 cache. The rest of the cores(CCD 1) have a regular amount of 3C cache, and a higher clock speed.
Games are meant to run on CCD 0, since having more L3 cache makes games perform much better.
The AMD chipset driver makes windows tell the game to use CCD 0 when the game is in focus, and only at that point that the game is able to make use of the extra L3 cache.
This means that the game has to be in focus in Windows when in VR mode to get the most FPS.
Currently when you exit VR mode to send a discord message in desktop mode, then go back into VR, it will make the game lose performance because the game is not in focus, making it run on CCD 1, without the extra L3 cache.
Having an option to auto-focus the game when entering VR mode would be perfect.
I have attached 2 screenshots of the Task Manager, 1 when running the game in focus, and 1 after the game is not in focus.
