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.
 
 
 
Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Best regards
