A-ha...
The cause seems to be the 'improved' palm rejection introduced in Windows 10.
In Windows 8.1 palm rejection is simple: as far as you are hovering the pen over the screen, no touch is taken anywhere in the screen.
In Windows 10, if you set pen to RIGHT Handed, palm rejection ignores any touch made at the RIGHT of the tip of the pen (where your hand is suppossed to be) and the opposite happens when you set windows to LEFT Handed writing.
But you can still touch the screen with your finger on the opposite side! That means the user is able to click, drag and touch with his left hand even when the pen is over the screen and the right hand touches it.
So... I don't know what kind of black magic are (were?) you using to bypass Palm Rejection, but from what I can see, Windows 10 DOES ACCEPT touch and pen at the same time, as far as the touch is on the opposite side of your writing hand! Things might even become easier now.
EDIT: Sorry I was over enthusiastic. It won't be easier - as Windows 10 accepts touch on the opposite side than my writing hand, it does read the touch over the Artist Pad region and it causes loss of focus under the tip of the pen, that is the problem and that is also why you can't hold down the buttons, because when the Pen takes focus, the touch on the left side is lost. It is out of Tabletpro's control.
This even makes the Artist Pad to accept multitouch! something that TabletPro doesn't allow - holding two buttons.
If I set windows to Left Handed, Artist pad works, but palm rejection doesn't work correctly, because my right hand is on the screen.
And so there comes one more reason I don't like Windows 10 on the Surfaces.
