Description
I have been using Nmap for scanning projects. Along with Nmap package NPCAP adapter also got installed in my Windows 10 machine. After it was installed my device WiFi stopped working. After long troubleshooting i came to know that it was NPCAP adapter was causing the issue and as i disabled that driver WiFi started working (connected).
I have changed my machine to other windows 10 one and issue is same there also.
