Wireshark does not respond when attempting to run it (Windows 10 32 & 64 bit version)

0

Hello,

When I attempt to run the program on my computer it freezes and become unresponsive at the "Finding Local Interfaces" stage. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both versions, and I've tried it with my VPN connected and disconnected. I also get the same result when I try to run Wireshark Legacy.

Has anyone else experienced this?

This is usually a symptom of a bad WinPcap installation. Try to reinstall it, or alternatively switch to Npcap.

Thank you so much, Pascal! I downloaded Npcap and Wireshark ran successfully!
