When I use my Surface Pro 4 surface pen with Windows 10, it does not allow me to click&drag continuously, for example when drawing, because it creates an interrupted or intermittent line. This only happens in the upper third of my screen. In the rest of the screen the pen works perfectly fine.

I created this video which clearly illustrates the problem:

It happens throughout all of Windows 10. For example, dragging a selection box in the desktop:

I am using

Surface Pro 4, i7, 256 GB

Windows 10, updated to latest drivers

You can imagine how frustrating this can be when taking notes. I am suspecting it can be a software problem. I can hear "crackling noises" (like those typical of read/write operations in a hard drive) from the Surface Pro, whenever the interruptions in the drag are happening.
