This issue is resolved in Npcap 0.996, released today. https://npcap.org/#download
Because Npcap 0.995 consistently crashes some systems, the Npcap 0.996 installer will offer to disable the npcap
driver service on the next boot so that the installation can be reattempted. You can also manually disable it by following these steps:
sc.exe config npcap start=disabled
sc.exe config npf start=disabled
This is a separate issue from some of the widely reported crashes when attempting to install or upgrade Npcap 0.995. Future installers will address that issue by offering to disable Npcap until reboot, upon which the installation/upgrade can be reattempted, avoiding a crash.
This issue, solved in nmap/npcap@88b8c89, is due to the driver unloading before all filter modules have finished detaching, and was introduced in Npcap 0.994.
