Windows 10: Unable to Open Recovered Word Documents

Microsoft Word crashed and closed. When I reopened it and attempted to recover the document I was working on, I keep getting an error that reads “Microsoft Word files with an .asd extension cannot be opened from this location. Please move this file to the original .asd location and try again.” But it is in the original location. Can someone please provide an answer as to how to fix this?

Unable to open Word document

Can any one help? I have a word document that I am unable to open. When I click on the document it comes up with 'unable to read this content, do you want to recover? However when I click yes it then comes up with 'word experienced an error '. I've searched
multiple things to recover it and I just can't seem to open it.

Another problem is that the file type is classed as a short cut. If anyone has any suggestions or even some insight on what the blood hell I've done that'd be great.
