Description
Windows 10 Pro 1909
it worked a couple of times then I installed the Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter. After doing that npcap installation blue screens every time. Removing the adapter did not fix it.
I have a minidump from the version in the current wireshark installer if that will help. I also tried the 1.0 installer from your website and it did the same thing.
Help: I need to sniff loopback traffic to figure out why I am getting a tcp reset in the middle of a read when I didn't send any additional data on the closed connection. Rawshark doesn't work. The packets aren't in order. The syn ack shows up before the syn and I the acks are showing up before the data so the acks are marked as for unseen data and the data is being shown as a spurious resend. I need to use an actual driver in hopes that it will be able to sniff in order.

Research direction
Begin with the Windows 10 Pro 1909 environment and the Microsoft KM-TEST Loopback adapter, then reproduce the blue screen during npcap installation using the versions mentioned. Inspect the available minidump and compare behavior after removing the adapter. Done means identifying the installation conflict or producing a confirmed fix for the SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION crash.
