How to use NFC with Surface Go 2 for Business?

Hi everybody,

I recently bought a Surface Go 2 for Business. The spec in the webshop says, it has a NFC sensor built in, but I can not get it to read any tags. All the apps I tried do not even detect the NFC reader, also does official Microsoft https://github.com/microsoftarchive/msdn-code-gallery-microsoft/tree/master/Official%20Windows%20Platform%20Sample/Proximity%20sample  does not. How to use the NFC sensor on this device or even find out, if the device I got shipped has the reader and if it is working at all?

 

Regards,

Stephan

    I finally got it working on a Surface Go 2 for Business using the ProximityDevice API class.
