I've been looking for a solution to this problem for a few days. I installed wireshark without any problems and it worked perfectly. After that I needed to develop a custom dissector, so I set up the build environment without a problem and after that I realised it was version 4.1, so I checkout into the version 4.07 and built again without a problem. Here's the problem Version 4.1 uses npcap version 1.7.5 wireshark 4.0.7 uses npcap 1.71, so I uninstalled npcap 1.75 to reinstall npcap 1.71. however after reinstalling version 1. 71 and that it appears well in the control panel as soon as I launch wireshark it says to me to type in a terminal as administrator net start npcap what to which it answers me :

The service name is invalid.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2185.

so I uninstall wirehsark npcap and the remaining files and reinstall and the problem remain i have tried to use winpcap nothing change. Here is my about wireshark

There's no need to revert npcap to 1.71, apart from issues that are fixed in 1.75, there's no functional difference between the two, so use the latest.

The issue appears to be an npcap failure to install correctly. Try manually installing npcap 1.75 again, if that doesn't fix it, then it's a problem for npcap support.

FYI: Latest version of npcap is now 1.76.
