This issue occurs when I save a .docx file in an internal NTFS storage drive with Libreoffice 5.1.4 or AbiWord, then boot to Windows 10 on the same computer and attempt to open it in LibreOffice 5.1. The LibreOffice logo appears briefly, but nothing else seems to happen. It may be worth noting that this problem first occured when I attempted to open a .docx file created in Abiword, and then converted it to an .odt with Libreoffice on Ubuntu and tried to open it in Windows again, then saved as a .docx again, also with Libreoffice on Ubuntu, and failed to open it in Windows 10 again.

Did you try saving as .odt in Ubuntu and opening that .odt in Windows?
The docx format seems to mess up pretty bad when edited on different platforms (well, even on the same platform, in fact), and even MS Office sometimes struggles with it's own documents format!
Unless the docx is mandatory, try to stick to open document formats.
Edit: if you need a MS-recognized format, try saving as the older .doc format, it should do the trick, as long you do not use fancy features...
