I just installed Wireshark this morning (11/3/2019) on 64-bit Windows 10 computer. I got the error message shown in the image below when I clicked on Start. What does this mean? How do I correct it?

Unable to upload image (something about need >60 points). Here is what the error message said: The capture session could not be initiated on interface '\Device\NPF_Loopback' (Error opening adapter: A device which does not exist was specified. (433)).

Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the proper interface or pipe specified.

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

The install looks good - latest Wireshark and npcap.
Have you looked through this question:
https://ask.wireshark.org/question/12...
I can generate a similar error message if I stop the npcap service.
Can you run the npcap DiagReport. It's described under Reporting Bugs here:
