In case you're using file name stored in some string, it's better to use Path to cut the file name (on my W10 the open dialog doesn't open in initial directory, if I supply just file name):

    if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(filename))
    {
        openDlg.InitialDirectory =
            System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(filename);
    }
