Even though LibreOffice Writer is the default program for opening .doc MS Word still opens

Writer opens the file normally, but a really annoying pop-up, owned by a winword.exe (MS Word process), appears.

One that says that Word isn’t the default program for modifying files. It has a “Don’t show this message again” checkbox, but it doesn’t do anything.

And another window also made by winword.exe that says:

“MS Word can’t be closed because there is a pop-up window opened”

Go figure.

File type is associated to Writer and I don’t really know why MS Word keeps opening… Couldn’t find something similar on the internet.

Edit 1: By the way, I don’t have a license for it, so when I enter the application it closes because I refuse to buy the license. Is there anything on the application’s files, like a config file or a registry that can turn this off.
