Trouble with running WireShark (Promiscuous mode)

Hi here i am again with a question. When i try to run WireShark on my Computer (windows 11). It wont work there will come a notification that sounds like this.

The capture session could not be initiated on capture device "\Device\NPF_{62432944-E257-41B7-A71A-D374A85E95DA}". (failed to set hardware filter to promiscuous mode: A device attached to the system is not functioning. (31))

please turn of promiscuous mode on your device.

Can someone please explain to me how i put this promiscuous mode off, and why this is happening? I used WireShark just fine on my dads computer, so i realy wonder why i got these issues.
