No interface

I installed wireshark on a dell laptop, 64 bit, windows 10. However when I go to try to capture packets no interface is shown? How do I get it to allow me to select my wireless interface?

If you want to capture wireless on Windows you should try to install npcap instead of WinPCAP. Because WinPCAP can only capture wireless on Windows with an AirPCAP adapter.

You probably didn't select the option to start the NPF driver when Windows starts. Without the NPF driver running, you will not see any adapters.

From command prompt, enter: sc start npf

This will start the npf driver.

If you want it to start with Windows, enter the command below:

sc config npf start= auto
