So I took the plunge with Windows 10 and I have been trying out some Diablo. This time the wrapper method didn't work. But I noticed something which helped me and me be relevant for other recent versions of Windows as well. Legacy support for DirectPlay is still included in Windows, but it is disabled by default. Enabling this feature in the control panel, combined with running Diablo in reduced color mode (8 bit color), seems to have solved the alt tab crashing problems. I haven't tested extensively, but with those two tweaks the game seems stable so far and the color palettes seem to behave pretty well.
