It did to me too!
and as you may already know and noticed it's not the only unexplainable thing with 1809. That's probably the reason, why they don't massively push it through WU to users. Lots of problems!

However, this does not explain why 1809 changed my 2016 Word associations to WordPad! Yes my fix was simple enough - just change the .docx file association.
