New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast Build 18305.1003 (19H1) - Dec. 20 Insider

The sleep function doesn't work well in this build, when the computer wakes up, there is always a black screen with the pointer, nothing else.

Anyone else got no tasks showing in Task Scheduler?

Yup, it's in the release notes, use command prompt to manage tasks, whatever that is, never tried.
My tasks are fine as it is, they do run despite not being shown, a future build will resolve this.

I will test this soon enough, what about hibernation and hybrid sleep, did you try enabling/disabling those?
For now, monitor sleep does work fine here.
I would also suggest you reinstall with command line parameter "-overall" your latest chipset drivers- if intel, or of course amd, that surely might resolve sleep issues.

Thanks but it's a problem of the build, several insiders have already reported it in the feedback hub:

Windows has never slept well!

Speaking of Cortana...I wonder when Cortana will be able to understand other languages, beyond English. It's been a while and nothing much has happened since she was born.


...oh well...
She's messing my system up anyways, so I have killed her on my computers, so I guess it does not matter that much.

Never used Cortana much past the first few weeks it was launched. Google assistant is just sooooooo far advanced over the others that I can't see a reason to use Cortana, Bixby or Alexa.

It took several hours to have Google assistant "shut up and get off me", especially on my phone. <tin hat ON> I was getting notices about places I have been in and things that were said about a hour afterwards, the assistant is listening. <tin hat OFF> Cortana has been pretty much quiet as well. Just the way I like and I am sticking to it.
