Research direction
The report only identifies an Npcap installation on a Windows tablet, a Realtek PCIe GbE Family adapter, and rt86win7.sys; it mentions no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reproducing capture on that adapter and checking the reported driver and device details. Done would require identifying a reproducible fix or documenting the adapter or driver limitation.
