Wireshark 3.0.5

With the release the windows installers ships with Qt 5.12.5, previously it was Qt 5.12.4. Before upgrading to the new version, Wireshark team recommends to manually uninstall Npcap 0.994 or 0.995 if it is installed.

If the Npcap was not installed, it may results in a possible crash while upgrading. More details about Npcap bugs can be found here and here.

Wireshark also provided steps to manually uninstall Npcap

  1. Open a command or PowerShell prompt as Administrator and run sc.exe config npcap start=disabled.
  2. Run sc.exe config npf start=disabled. This will fail if WinPcap compatibility mode isn’t enabled, but is otherwise harmless.
  3. Reboot (optional).
  4. Open “Programs and Features” in the Control Panel or “Apps & features” in Settings and uninstall Npcap.
  5. Open “Device Manager” (devmgmt.msc) in the Control Panel and expand the “Network adapters” section. Uninstall each “Npcap Loopback Adapter” that you find.

  • Wireshark 3.0.4 does not start on macOS 10.13 after an upgrade from 3.0.3. Bug 16050.
