It's probably not Wireshark, as Wireshark itself can't do that.
It's probably an issue with WinPcap and some other software running on

problems with that interface, then it's a WinPcap problem; report it to
the WinPcap developers:

Note all the details on that page, including the set of information to
report when you report the bug - especially the

firewalls and VPN clients.
