Description
I can't capture traffic on a bridge created in Windows. I can see traffic in the little graph in Wireshark and it's definitely seeing the interface, but I get an error when I try to start a capture, even as Administrator.

Research direction
Start by reviewing DiagReport-20210105-225830.txt and install.log, then reproduce the reported failure while attempting to capture traffic on a Windows bridge in Wireshark. Done means the bridged interface can start a capture successfully rather than only appearing in Wireshark's interface graph.
