Warning on default app opening docx file
I upgraded my 8.1 laptop to 10 about 2 weeks ago now. Basically all is OK, but I do run in to quirks here and there.
The latest one is that whenever I dbl-click a .docx (or a .doc) on the desktop or in filemanager, I get the warning below. It nonetheless opens the file correctly. As you can see in the second image, I do have docx associated with word. Thinking I could maybe reset it, I switch it to open via Adobe Acrobat, opened one file, then switched it back to word. I did not get a similar error with acrobat, but when switched back, once again the error shows up with word.
I also tried the filemanager "Open With" context menu, selected wordpad and checked the "always open with". Then dbl-clicked to open with no error. Switched back using the context "open with". Again chosing Word and checking the "always" button. The error is back.
I do not have a similar problem with excel. Haven't tried PowerPoint or Access as I don't have any files readily available to use.
So how can I reset whatever thinks Word is no good?

update - Just realized that it is only the first 'open'. If I open a docx (or doc), I get the warning. If I leave Word open and dbl-click a second file, I do not get the warning.
