Hmm, i ran into the issue that the npcap loopback adapter didn‘t showed up in the latest Wireshark 3.0.1 after installing it in a Win10 1809 VM. No matter what I did.
The adapter was installed and shown in the device manager but not in Wireshark.
After I installed the Linux subsystem it showed up and worked flawlessly.

Manuel König

As does using Npcap as capture engine.

Hi,
 
I stumbled upon the wiki article about the Loopback capture setup (https://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Loopback).
Under Supported Platforms it's stated that it's not possible to capture loopback traffic on Windows.
 
I would add an asterisk to that, because on Windows 10 with the Subsystem for Linux installed you are able to capture this kind of traffic.
