The computers that come with or are compatible with the stylus pen, such as the Windows Surface Book, have to always come with touch-screen also. A touch-screen means you can touch the computer’s display with your fingers, which can sometimes come in handy if you want to scroll or zoom in on pictures that appear too small et cetera.
If you’re using the stylus pen on a touch-display, there might be times when your fingers are moving the display when you wish they wouldn’t, thus making the stylus pen difficult to use.
The Settings application in Windows 10 offers you the chance to ignore the touch input when you’re using the stylus pen if you want to make sure your fingers aren’t getting in the way.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to enable or disable the “Ignore touch input when I’m using my pen” option from the Settings application in all version of the Windows 10 operating system and computers that are compatible with the pen.
How to Turn On/Off “Ignore Touch Input when Using Pen” from Settings
You can turn on or off the “Ignore touch input when I’m using my pen” from the Settings app in Windows 10.
Note: You will only find the option to enable or disable the touch input when the stylus pen is in use on a device that is compatible with the pen. Even computers that have touch screen but are not compatible with the pen will not find this option available.
1. Open the Settings app and click on the “Devices” icon from the main Windows Settings menu.
2. From Device’s left side, click on “Pen & Windows Ink” and then check or uncheck the box next to where it says “Ignore touch input when I’m using my pen.”
You can now close the Settings app.
That’s all.

I don’t think so. Not an easy way anyhow.
You’ll have to roll back to the previous version of Windows and then once you’re using the older version, open Settings > Update and Security > Windows Update > Advanced Options and turn on the toggle to pause updates.
Small issues with apps will likely be fixed before too long. By the time your Windows system starts accepting updates again, the problem should be solved — or it will at least not be far away.

I usually only use my stylus in the OneNote app. After installing OneNote version 17.824.57551.0, my stylus pen won’t write on the screen anywhere near as accurately as it did before. Sometimes it won’t write at all. I’ve tried fiddling with the pen and can’t seem to make any difference. I’ve also opened other Microsoft apps that work with the pen like PowerPoint and the pen works fine.
Is there any way to roll back an update on apps?
