Wireshark does not start on Win 10/64

0

I just installed Wireshark, 64b on my Windows 10 64 machine, restarted as requested, and when I press the executable the Wireshark just sits there "Wait while Wireshark is initializing" and based on processes does not consume any CPU. Any suggestions?

You may be encountering the same issue as others have reported with respect to USBPcap and extcap interfaces. In case this is so, you might want to refer to https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/48178/wireshark-fails-to-start-on-windows-10, as well as Bug 12845 and https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/55394/wireshark-220-freezes-during-first-start-after-each-reboot.
