Description

This bsod happened about 14 hours after running. Have tried both npcap 1.79 and latest 1.84. The call stack looks almost identical. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Research direction

Begin by examining the attached 103025-5203-01.dmp and 103125-5328-01.dmp files, then compare their call stacks and the reported PFN_REFERENCE_COUNT BSOD after long packet capture. Reproduce the extended capture scenario if possible and determine a confirmed root cause; completion requires a maintainer-validated fix or diagnosis.
