MS Office does not start with NVIDIA card

Question

When I try and start any Microsoft Office product from the discrete graphics card (rather than the integrated card), the program (Excel, Word, etc) crashes immediately rather than starting up. The problem does not occur when using the integrated graphics card, but I need it to work since I have to be able to call Excel from a graphics-intensive application.

I'm working on a Lenovo W520, which has an NVIDIA Quadro 1000M discrete graphics card, currently running the 362.77 driver. I'm using Office 2016 (Office 365 ProPlus). How can I make MS Office applications work from my NVIDIA Quadro 1000M?

I have tried the 342.01, 355.85, 362.56 and 362.77 drivers from NVIDIA, of which only 342.01 worked (but this driver left WhatsApp desktop and Google Chrome pitch black, of which I could only fix the latter). If you have a different driver compatible with the Quadro 1000M and cannot reproduce the problem, please share this as well so I can try this.

I included a representative crash log from AppCrashView below.

I already tried this Microsoft Support guide, but the registry key ShownFirstRunOptin already had 1 as a value. The problem also persists if I disable McAfee Access Protection, On-Delivery Email Scanner as well as On-Access Scanner.

Have you tried turning on hardware acceleration?

Start any Office program, on the File tab, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Advanced. In the list of available options, click to select the Disable hardware graphics acceleration check box. Click OK.

Thanks for the suggestion. Sadly, it did not provide a solution to my problem. – Sanchises Oct 03 '17 at 17:25
It should have because you indicate the problem does not happen if you use the iGPU. Honestly it sounds like the Office doesn't support hardware acceleration with the Quadro 1000M which isn't shocking honestly. – Ramhound Oct 03 '17 at 18:42
Another thought, have you tried running any of the programs in safe mode. If you open the run command type "Excel.exe /safe" to get launch it in safe mode. Maybe there is some odd plugin causing this. – vxd128 Oct 03 '17 at 21:00
One additional thought, in the Nvidia control panel, under Manage 3D settings, select program settings. From there, manually add Excel and then you can specify the preferred graphics processor, which will allow you select the integrated graphics card. – vxd128 Oct 03 '17 at 21:18
