MBN Api: No interfaces found when using mbnInfMgrInterface.GetInterfaces()

Question

Good afternoon

I have a strange problem when using the Mobile Broadband Network API (MBN API). When using netshell and running netsh mbn>show interfaces, I receive 1 interface. That's correct because I have one broadband connection on my system.

When I go to my code (which works on other systems) and I do

IMbnInterface[] mobileInterfaces = mbnInfMgrInterface.GetInterfaces() as IMbnInterface[];

I receive no interfaces.

Shouldn't this somehow be linked? Is there a particular setting I'm forgetting?

My readstate function is:

private void ReadStateMobileNetwork()
    {
        Log.Info("Reading mobile network state");
        try
        {
            MbnInterfaceManager mbnInfMgr = new MbnInterfaceManager();
            IMbnInterfaceManager mbnInfMgrInterface = mbnInfMgr as IMbnInterfaceManager;
            if (mbnInfMgrInterface != null)
            {
                IMbnInterface[] mobileInterfaces = mbnInfMgrInterface.GetInterfaces() as IMbnInterface[];
                Log.Info("Interfaces: " + mobileInterfaces);
                if (mobileInterfaces != null && mobileInterfaces.Length > 0)
                {
                    // Use the first interface, as there should only be one mobile data adapter
                    IMbnSignal signalDetails = mobileInterfaces[0] as IMbnSignal;

                    Int32.TryParse(signalDetails.GetSignalStrength().ToString(), out _signalStrength);
                    SignalStrength = Convert.ToInt32(((float)SignalStrength / 33) * 100);

                    MBN_PROVIDER provider = mobileInterfaces[0].GetHomeProvider();
                    MobileProvider = provider.providerName.ToString();

                    if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(SIMkaartnumber))
                    {
                        try
                        {
                            IMbnSubscriberInformation subInfo = mobileInterfaces[0].GetSubscriberInformation();

                            if (subInfo != null)
                            {
                                SIMkaartnumber = subInfo.SimIccID;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                Connected = false;
                                SIMkaartnumber = "";
                                MobileProvider = "Sim unreadable";
                                SignalStrength = 0;
                                State = MobileNetworkMonitorState.UnableToReadSimInfo;

                        }
                    }
