The problem is that npcap is not actually running, another default windows version (I guess) is currently in control and you need to run npcap to actually be able to see traffic with Wireshark.

To solve this issue, you will need to have downloaded npcap (the latest version is a recommended option).

Step 1: Run the command prompt as administrator (right click -> run as administrator) Step 2: type the following in the cmd: net start npcap Step 3: Relaunch Wireshark

This time you should be able to see much more options and you will be able to see Wi-Fi as an option.
