I saw a post sometime back with a similar issue but the solution was for mac, so I'd like to know if there's a way to fix it for windows.
I have checked preferences of book calibre and the ebook reader and not found anything that made adding and force opening calibre a thing for the ebook viewer.

It's something that Kovid added a while back, calibre.exe is added to the list of handlers for the ebook file types, it works something like this:
Windows has a 'feature' of being able to nominate programs that Windows will offer in the Open With list for a file type, but if the existing default program disappears Windows will use the first one on the 'offer list' as the Default
As almost always Kovid has provided a solution
