Here are some ideas maybe:
Force the game to use Borderless:
Documents\PVZ Garden Warfare\settings\PROF_SAVE_profile
Edit with Notepad
Borderless:
GstRender.FullscreenMode 2
GstRender.FullscreenScreen 1
-------
You could also try setting all the games settings to default by deleting the GW folder in Documents. It will recreate to default settings on next launc.
-----
Try going to nVidia Control Panel and defaulting the Global 3D Properties.
I do not believe your computer has an active Intel HD530 IGP but to be safe make sure the game is using the 980m by doing this:

nVidia Control Panel -> 3D Settings -> Program Settings -> Add Program (PvZ) -> High Performance Processor
----
I don't see any crash errors in the DX report for GW but it does have a lot of DllHost.exe -> OLMAPI32.DLL
DLLhost I believe has to do with .Net redist files (may be relevant).
OLMAPI32 I believe is mostly associated with Outlook in Office (probably not relevant?)
You may try some things like:
SFC /Scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Re-running the game's .Net installer from:
Origin Games\Plants vs Zombies\__Installer\vc\vc201XUpdateX\redist\vcredist_x64.exe
Select Repair
