Bluetooth traffic not seen by Wireshark

Hi All,

Are there any known issues capturing Bluetooth traffic with Wireshark? My system is Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Gen6 running W10x64 build 10.0.18363.1256 with Bluetooth v4.2 provided by Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 combo WiFi+BT card (specs here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/94150/intel-dual-band-wireless-ac-8265.html) and Wireshark 3.4.0 captures no Bluetooth traffic on it whatsoever while there's plenty. Just tried upgrading to 3.4.2 build with the details below and still no difference. In the very first Wireshark screen that opens upon launch Bluetooth is among several other interfaces showing no traffic (straight line) - only WiFi and Loopback interfaces do show some. Are there any peculiarities to make Bluetooth traffic capturing work?

Many thanks in anticipation!
