Ewald,
this is not a bug, it is designed that way.
Probably if you had MS Office installed after OpenOffice it would most probably
be exactly the other way round. (Opening .odt files with MS Word.)
Have a look at this page
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=12918 (scroll all
the way down} to see a simple way to change the default app on Windows 10 (
From OO to MS or the other way round.)
You cab specify there exactly which file you want to open with what application
