* Works on all sites, however the process is a pain:
1. select a price
2. enter email,
3. wait and go to my email to do a price check.
Very arduous. Too tedious. May be helpfule in a researching scenario, but not for day to day shopping.

If utilizing one of the various recommendations to improve Windows 10 performance such as flavors of Black Viper or other service configurations, please note that there are new services in Windows 10 related to Windows Update. The following services have dependencies with Windows Update in Windows 10 thus when changing service status to boost performance be aware that you may break Windows Update or the installer process.
The default install of Windows 10 (Pro or Home) sets these services to run Automatically it is thus a best practice to audit changes to service configuration before and after any manual updates.
Also required for msi installs, e.g: .Net FR Runtime install/updates install via direct .msi/exe execution.
Added in a cumulative update. Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 KB4023057 update patch would enhance the service components’ reliability. The patch offers reliability improvements for the following versions of the Windows 10 operating system:‘ 1507 – 1803.
The exe assoc. with this service is Sedlauncher.exe normally in the C:\Program Files\rempl directory.
This is a system service in Windows 10 & is part of the Windows Customer Experience, Improvement Program and Windows Update. The executable file for this service is used for upgrading Windows to the latest Version and installing Service Pack Updates. It is located in the C:\\Windows\System32 directory and transfers telemetry data.

Use Chrome Profile
Create profile with naming pattern like O365.[acronym] e.g: O365.SB
Login to portal.office.com
Open any other pages, e.g: Outlook, Word, Admin Center ect.
Set Home pages for profile to the open tabs
Now when you open the profile in the future all pages will be loaded and logged into, likewise you could use bookmarks in the new profile for similar shortcut access to O365 pages.
I tried Session Box, however it had problems with the varying domains, for example portal.office.com and https://outlook.office365.com/ were not in same session in Session Box. Isolation was based on portal.office.com only

SQLLocalDB is used by VS.Net for local db dev and to reduce the need for SQL Express. If you would like to use SSMS (SQL Server Management Studio) to query a SQLLocalDB, see below steps.
1. Find location of SqlLocalDB.exe, normally C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\[Version]\Tools\Binn
2. Open cmd prompt in location;
3. run SqlLocalDB –?
4. run SqlLocalDB i
output:
5. Get Connection string:
run: SqlLocalDB i MSSQLLocalDB
6. Copy Connection string: e.g:
np:\\.\pipe\LOCALDB#BBCAB010\tsql\query
7. Paste into SSMS:
Using 1st 3 digits of the serial number:
Find 1st block of 3 digits in Serial#:
- M: Month production (1,2, ... Oct –> X, November –> Y, December –> Z)
- Y: Last digit of the year of production (eg. 0 for 2010, 4 for 2014, 5 for 2015)
- D: Day of production (1,2,...9,A,B,...) (eg. G –> 16)
E.g: - X1A = 10th November 2011
e.g: WX11A7317973
November, 2011, 1st
Exam the following:
(1) Determine drive’s warranty status by typing its serial number into WD’s online warranty checker:
https://westerndigital.secure.force.com/WarrantyCheck?lang=en
or
E.g:, warranty period will be 1, 2, 3, or 5 years, plus a few months.
(2) Look at the date codes on the Printed circuit board. Use a Torx 6 screwdriver.
e.g::

Note the “3709” on the PCB below pin #1 the Samsung SDRAM. This means: PCB was manufactured during the 37th week of 2009.
Now: examine markings on each of the chips:
Samsung SDRAM at location U2 - “940”
Marvell 88i9045 MCU at U5 - “0942”
SMOOTH chip at U1 - “0943”
Winbond “BIOS” IC at U12 - “0938”
*Chip markings are date codes in YWW or YYWW (Year / Week) format. E.g: SMOOTH chip was manufactured during the 43rd week of 2009.
From this we can infer: drive cannot have been manufactured before week 43 of 2009.
