Npcap can be installed in "Admin required" mode but unfortunately that is almost unusable with Wireshark as it then requires multiple elevation requests as all the interfaces are enumerated.

Given the above, currently there is no simple solution to your request.

Are you also aware that modern Windows installations (Win 10 or later) have a built-in capture mechanism that I don't think can be disabled. See here or more info.
