Why does WireGuard (when active) not show as a nic in my adapter list

I noticed that when I have a WireGuard tunnel active, it does not show in my Wireshark list of adapters. However, another utility I use; Lantronix Device Installer does show it as an option.

Is there an option somewhere to show the WireGuard adapter?

Can you add the output of wireshark -v or Help->About Wireshark:Wireshark.

Thanks for that! Can Wireshark hook into that interface?

That would be down to npcap which handles the capturing for Wireshark on Windows. @Chiuckc linked to the npcap issue for this which is currently still open.
