Word opening multiple instances of the same file

When I open a file I get anywhere between 5-10 windows of the same file opening at the same time.

    Is this true of all files? A particular file?

    Are you using the desktop application or the lesser online or mobile apps?

    How are you opening the file?

      Its happening for all files.  Its happening on the desktop applications. It's also opening last used files before I closed the app. It happens when I open the program from my task bar and start menu.
