This has been an on and off issue for the last couple of versions of InDesign along with INDD files opening in the wrong version of InDesign. The best way I found to fix it was to edit the registry. There are quite a few discussions if you search the community.

 

BTW, you should probably enable the display of file extensions for known file types.
