I am also running into this same issue. 0.991 does not show any adapters at all (in SharpPcap or Wireshark), whereas 0.9982 shows adapters in Wireshark but no adapters can be opened in SharpPcap (same exception as OP).

I'm having the same isue with npcap 0.9983. I upgraded from 0.991 to check if it'd work with SharpPcap, and after finding it doesn't, I can't go back.

Npcap uninstallers prior to Npcap 0.9985 did not properly check for filesystem redirection on 64-bit Windows, so the
npcap.sysfile was not correctly deleted. Windows would therefore not overwrite it with a version that was older than the previously installed version, preventing a clean downgrade.Npcap 0.9985 (soon to be released) can be safely downgraded to any other version. For downgrading from previous versions, you must manually delete the
%WINDIR%\System32\Drivers\npcap.sysfile after uninstalling and before installing the older version.
