Error when running capture in Wireshark

I am getting following error when I am trying to capture using wireshark:"unknown message from dumpcap reading header, try to show it as a string (dumpcap: 2980) Glib-Critical: 12:02:10.017 g_log_writer_supports_color: assertion 'output_fd>=0' failed f. The packet capture is also showing no packet.

However, I was able to run the dumpcap from cmd and produce the pcap file. I would like to know what is the cause of above error, because that means i cannot use the wireshark GUI.

The OS environment is MS windows Server 2008 R2 and Wireshark Revision is Wireshark-win64-3.6.1.
