Hello, Even small trace (300kB) is loading 3 minutes. Reinstall of wireshark and ncap did not fix the issue. i have windows 7 x64 Wireshark Version 3.0.3 (v3.0.3-0-g6130b92b0ec6)

What could be the cause of the issue? Thanks

Best regards Ladislav Karlovsky

The traffic in the capture can affect the processing required when loading. Can you share the capture, as otherwise it's difficult to comment?

Yes sure, here it is: https://www.dropbox.com/s/63m5m5lbccw...

Loads almost instantly for me (Win 10, quite a powerful machine).

I wonder if it's due to something in your profile, or name resolution? Can you try disabling name resolution (View -> Name Resolution), and create a new profile (Edit -> Configuration Profiles...)?

This behavior is often seen when you have a big (Pre)-Master-Secret log file (in TLS/SSL preferences) and you have TLS/SSL traffic (as in your capture). Could you double check this and clear the file?
