Windows 10 npcap 0.992 npf & npcapservice cannot be started after reboot #1562
Comments
Edit: sorry I had missed that you were under the compatibility mode 😄
It's written in the doc: https://nmap.org/npcap/guide/npcap-devguide.html |
From the Doc I have installed it with "WinPcap Compatible Mode" so the npf service will also be installed and i need the npf service since the Software i use does only support npf (WinPcap) The only thing i have noticed: When i install npcap with WinPcap Mode the binary path for the npf service will be set to \systemroot\system32\npf.sys Could this be the Problem? |
Now i have seen that also the npcap service can not be startet with the same error.

Still exists in Version 0.993 After a reboot of windows both services (npcap & npf) can not be startet. "The system cannot find the file specified" |
This Problem was caused by AV Software Avast after removing Avast npcap is working fine. |
Met the same problem here. Windows 8.1 Pro, today. Maybe we need to submit a bug report to Avast or trying to notice Avast user at the homepage of npcap. |

I am currently having this problem also. If I remove the firewall component for Avast, will this work? |
I don't know. Since recently, Avast and AVG are exposed to selling personal privacy information, I strongly suggest any of you here remove Avast/AVG completely. |
Thank god I pirated avast. @kmahyyg |
After i installed npcap with WinPcap compatibile Mode option the npf service can not be startet.
The Service is installed and the npf.sys exitst at "C:\Windows\system32\drivers" but if i try to start the service i get the error
"The system cannot find the file specified"
I have removed / installed npcap several times but always the same , i have also disabled the AV software during installation.
