"Failed to select application: File not found" in multiple initialization attempts

Nitrokey Generic

I just received Nitrokey 3A USB and I’m trying to use for the first time. I saw this tutorial and tried to follow it but each time I run a OpenSC command, I get “File not found.” My Nitrokey is in my USB port. I’m using Win 10. How come?

Please use the official documentation for information of how to use the Nitrokey 3.
