Wireshark 2.6 doesn't find the interfaces and exits the program.

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >750 is welcome to improve it.

After several reinstalls I'm looking for help. Why can't Wireshark find my interfaces? I have reinstalled multiple times WinPcaP and Wireshark 2.6. Wireshark 2.4.6 worked without any problem. (Microsoft Windows 10 PRO (10.0.17134))

Can you paste the contents of the Help | About Wireshark | Wireshark dialog box?

In fact, I can't. Wireshark closes itself after less than 5 seconds. Can I add somewhere a screenshot?

Maybe use tshark from a command prompt then:

"path\to\tshark.exe" -v

Where path\to is the appropriate path to your install of Wireshark, likely to be "C:\Program Files\Wireshark", or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wireshark", and if it includes spaces will have to be quoted as in the example.

tshark output:

C:\Program Files\Wireshark>tshark.exe -v

OK, that shows that npcap has been found and is being used. Something is up with the interfaces on your machine that prevents the initial scan of interfaces succeeding.

Can you open a PowerShell prompt and show the output of Get-NetAdaptor?
