Crashing on Startup

I've recently bought the game and I've noticed one annoying thing... 99/100 chances, the game crashes. When it's able to load, it's normal, the game runs around 60 FPS+ and everything goes smoothly. ...

    Okay I went to check the crash thing it says but nope this time it works ._.

    But usually when I start it up it just says PvZ GW2 has stopped responding... Nothing else.

        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
