I am unable to duplicate this bug. Version: 25.2.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: bbb074479178df812d175f709636b368952c2ce3 CPU threads: 22; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
And those setting are in the OS not in LibreOffice.
Still the only time I get this message or any thing like it is when I run LibreOffice. I did fimd a workaround and that is to uncheck the little box in front of "Perform check on startup". There seems to be no consequence fur doing that. It appears that the oroblem only happens after a reinatall of LibreOffice and when there is an .ODT file in the previous file list. It still seem like a bug in LibreOffice sine it invokes the the message. I'm opretty sure windows does not care what kind of files I edit using LO...
You can have any alien file and put .odt as extension. Most softwares detect the real format by reading the beginning of the file and then activate the right filter (driver). Softwares rarely trusts files extension. Your file may be a "fake" ODT file. Please try to open LibreOffice in Safe Mode, using Help -> Restart in Safe Mode and test. Finally, your LibreOffice installation may have been corrupted, in that case a full reinstall may be necessary.
Hi guys: I must confess a little surprise at how this is developing... I deceded to make a "Bug Report" since this message would appear each time I started LibreOffice, reintalling does not clear the problem up. It can only be cleard up by un-checking the little box before "Perform check on startup". The message itself implies that LibreOffice is not set as the default user of "odt" files. This is not the case when I look at the settings it shows LibreOffice is the default for ODT files. Soooo from my point of view we have a "BUG" in the startup for LibreOffice. If I am missing something that would provide a relief from this message, I would be glad to hear it so I can clear up my ignorance and just get back to being a LibreOffice user...

LibreOffice can not modify your file associations. It is the job of Windows itself.
