Do you fail to see Windows Sandbox in Windows Features?

If you try to look for Windows Sandbox in the Windows Features box this is what you will find.

But to enable Windows Sandbox you need this in the Windows Features.
You look through the internet and surf away there are various suggestions. But what matters is the Windows Version you have. You would assume, that since you have agreed for automatic updates everything is fine. That is not the case.

I found out that I was running Windows 10 Pro version 1803 and that was the real problem. I tried to update to the needed version 1903 or higher but I was not able to do it from the desktop.

I had to get the Windows 10 Update Assistant to install the higher version.

I finally installed the Windows 10 Update Assistant and ran the program.

It takes a while and the installation would require you to have nothing connected to the USB Ports. If they are connected to anything you will get an error which is easy to correct.

Now with the new version you will see the Windows Sandbox in Windows Features as shown.

That concludes the task of bringing the Windows Sandbox node to the Windows Features.

What is a TPC Benchmark?

TPC is an acronym for Transaction Processing Corporation, a non-profit organization to define transaction processing benchmarks and providing objective, verifiable performance data to the industry.

Here is the scope of TPC from its website (http://www.tpc.org/information/about/abouttpc.asp):

"The term transaction is often applied to a wide variety of business and computer functions. Looked at as a computer function, a transaction could refer to a set of operations including disk read/writes, operating system calls, or some form of data transfer from one subsystem to another.

While TPC benchmarks certainly involve the measurement and evaluation of computer functions and operations, the TPC regards a transaction as it is commonly understood in the business world: a commercial exchange of goods, services, or money. A typical transaction, as defined by the TPC, would include the updating to a database system for such things as inventory control (goods), airline reservations (services), or banking (money).

In these environments, a number of customers or service representatives input and manage their transactions via a terminal or desktop computer connected to a database. Typically, the TPC produces benchmarks that measure transaction processing (TP) and database (DB) performance in terms of how many transactions a given system and database can perform per unit of time, e.g., transactions per second or transactions per minute"

Here is what SQL Server 2017 performance looks like.
