Hi Yang,

I gave another try to a second Win10 x64 French virtual machine and it was not renamed either. The 'ver' command typed in a console does work like in your picture.

This is so weird. I guess the only difference between our systems is the language, and I don't think a UI language could lead to this diverging. It has no other possibility but to be a bug for Windows beta. Maybe we should set aside this issue and wait for Win10 RTM.
 

For your information GetVersionEx API can work on Windows 10 (that's what we use in Wireshark). But you need to embed a manifest in your application indicating that Windows 10 is supported by adding its GUID (see https://code.wireshark.org/review/gitweb?p=wireshark.git;a=blob;f=image/wireshark.exe.manifest.in;h=9a3f32c912aae5ec8f05266f4ac28f14446025a1;hb=refs/heads/master that we use for Wireshark).


I saw this in MSDN too, but I don't know if this manifest way is the ultimate solution even for Win10 RTM? If GetVersionEx API works on Win10 RTM without this special manifest, then I preferred not to add it.
 

Yes that's what happens with WinPcap. The driver starts automatically when calling p_pcap_findalldevs() from wpcap.dll but it does not seem to work with Npcap.

I tried to first stop the service using "net stop npf", then start latest stable version Wireshark 64 bit (Version 1.12.6 (v1.12.6-0-gee1fce6 from master-1.12)) . I can see the interface list in fact. So I don't know what's wrong here. I have modified the installer a little to start the service when installation finishes. And make sure you checked "Automatically start the Npcap driver at boot time" option in the last page of installer.
 

Cheers,
Yang
