Add .odt to the end of the file name and it will open perfectly. Alternatively, start Writer and use the menu "File -> Open..." option to open the file, even without the .odt file name extension. ODF (OpenDocument Format) files are in fact compressed zip files, with a different file name extension and the "machine code" you are seeing is the compressed zip code. Without the .odt extension at the end of the file name your operating system (Windows) does not know what application to open the file with. We can only guess at the reason your files are being saved without the extension, but a solution for future saves is to use Writer's main menu "File -> Save As..." option and in the "Save As" dialog (window) ensure that the "Automatic file name extension" box is ticked/checked. Hope this helps.
