after installing wireshark i cant seem to capture because the npcap driver isnt running.

i have tried to start it manually with: net start npcap but i get systemerror 2 the system cannot find the file specified

when i look in C:\Windows\System32\drivers the driver is there.

i've been unable to find a working fix for it so i hope anyone here could help me out.

  1. It helps if you include the information from "Help->About Wireshark" or "wireshark -v".

  2. The latest version of npcap is Npcap 0.9983 [2019-08-30].
    You might uninstall then reinstall to make sure its a clean install.
    Download here: https://nmap.org/npcap/

  3. The npcap Diagnostic Report and install logs might have useful info.

The npcap installation also has a batch file that attempts to correct service registration and startup, FixInstall.bat that should be run from an elevated prompt, but before running that can you show the output of the npcap service status and configuration with sc queryex npcap followed by sc qc npcap

I don't think this is contributing to your issues, but it seems that you've installed npcap in "Winpcap compatible" mode:

HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\npcap\Parameters:

NdisImPlatformBindingOptions : 0
DefaultFilterSettings        : 1
LoopbackSupport              : 1
DltNull                      : 1
AdminOnly                    : 0
Dot11Support                 : 0
VlanSupport                  : 0
WinPcapCompatible            : 1

Unless you explicitly need that for another application that can only use WinPcap, Wireshark doesn't, you might want to reinstall npcap and uncheck that box on the installer.

when i remove npcap and reinstall everything works like its supposed too. but as soon as i restart the pc the npcap drivers dont start at all.

This sounds like an npcap issue.

It looks as if somebody reported a similar issue (complete with Dutch error messages) on the npcap issue list as issue #128. If that's not your report, you might want to add to it.
