1. Uninstall Office, restart, and then reinstall Office and patch. Test after this.

2. Make a new, test, Windows User Profile (Account). Log into the new Windows Account and test.

Windows 10 - Build 1709.  Java and adobe are not installed.
Find the Microsoft Media Creation Link and do an in-place Repair Install. Keep Everything. Use the section "download " and select Run to start the Repair
Repair and reboot did not resolve the issue
Can you try Office 32-bit and see if that works. Most of us use Office 32-bit and it works fine with Windows 10 V1709.
John:
The 32 bit version seems to be working.  I'm going to keep this open for a few hours and if the user does not have any more issues, I will assign the rewards to you.
Thanks for your assistance.
Paul
Thanks., Microsoft has continued to recommend 32-bit Office except in special circumstances  

Please keep us posted.
Uninstalled Office 64 Bit and installed 32 bit version.
Thank you for the update and I was pleased to assist you with this.
Thanks John
