[libreoffice-users] open files

Good evening
Probably another stupid question.

With a new computer running Windows8.1 I noticed, that files DO NOT open
any longer,
when I (double) click on their names or select them and hit ENTER
... as it used to work with all other computers / OSs in the past.

I DO HAVE to open Writer, Calc or whatever and then use the "open"
command from within the software.

Is that something peculiar to Windows?
Or another so-called "improvement" like the disabling of the styles menu?
Can I change this behavior?

Thank you.
Thomas
