Ongoing polish and improvements mean little is ever truly done
Some elements are less touch-friendly than in Windows 8.1. Browser lacks extensions. Skype and OneDrive integration could be improved. Less integration with mobile OS than Mac OS X. Some interface duplications remain
Confused settings menus
Upgrade download issues
Advertising and inapp purchases in previously free Windows games
App store has fewer and less feature-full apps than competing phone OSes
Not all older phone models are upgradeable
Tablet Mode changes aren't great
Cortana loses features
Not every bug is dead yet. Switching modes gets really confusing. Cortana's voice recognition is a mess. Windows really needs more apps
Weird software bugs
Microsoft Edge needs more work
Missing features in built-in apps
Bugs
Inconsistent
Cortana can't control 3rd party apps like in Windows Phone (yet)
Tablet mode may have a learning curve (but you don't have to use it)
Some older programs designed for desktop Windows don't work quite as well in Tablet mode
Many Universal apps are not
The Windows Store and Universal Apps still have to prove themselves. Windows 10 will only achieve greatness if Microsoft keeps updating it as promised. UI inconsistency is still something to consider.
No major changes beyond the traditional Windows desktop

Abstract: We last reviewed Windows 10 back in July of 2015 when it was first released to the public. That was the desktop version, and we didn’t get a “final” version of Windows 10 Mobile until December of 2015. Both received an “Anniversary update” that brought some fixes and minor changes. The big feature that we were looking forward to with the “Anniversary Update” was universal messaging where the messaging app on Windows Mobile would sync SMS/MMS messages and Skype messages with the messaging app on your Windows 10 desktop and tablet PCs. That feature was cancelled at the last minute, so for the past year we’ve been waiting for that to come back as part of the new Skype Universal App....
