LibreOffice updates don't touch documents, while Windows updates can cause such problems by simply losing the association between a non-Microsoft application such as LibreOffice and its files, which are stored in the Documents folder.

Please try the following solution: (1) right-click on any LibreOffice file, (2) select Open with, (3) left-click on Select other application, (4) click on the LibreOffice (Writer, Calc, Impress) icon, (5) check Always use the selected application to open the file, (6) and press OK.

If this doesn't solve the problem, then Windows 10 has messed up the association in the Windows registry, and the solution is not trivial at all, as the Windows registry should be managed by someone who is expert in this area to avoid screwing up the entire Windows 10 installation.

In this case, the best option is to uninstall and reinstall LibreOffice from scratch, as this process may reset file associations. Please check that the file associations are set correctly during the installation by selecting all the checkboxes in the corresponding dialogue box.

Best regards.
