Description

I tried to install "Acrylic WiFi Professional v3" on my Win10 laptop to capture wireless packets. I opened Wireshark and I noticed all of my network interfaces disappeared. I uninstalled Acrylic and reinstall Wireshark and Npcap. The problem hasn't been fixed.

Research direction

The report mentions Wireshark, Npcap, Acrylic WiFi Professional v3, and Windows 10, but names no source files or tests. Start by reproducing the interface disappearance after installing and removing Acrylic, then inspect Npcap and Wireshark behavior before and after reinstalling. Done means identifying a reproducible cause or documenting the missing information needed to diagnose it.
