I can't find such a setting.
But Word 2016 Template Opens Twice - Microsoft Community shows that someone had a similar problem last year.
I tried that tip (shown in the above link/thread) to revert my version of Word or Office, after stopping updates. Problem still exists.
I really don't directly open documents all that much. And of course I can open them by using "open" from the context menu. But just the existence of this problem is really irritating!
