Hi @everyone Wireshark version 4.6.1 has been removed from the website while we investigate a compatibility issue. If you have downloaded 4.6.1 through the website or via the auto update mechanism and it is working for you, you are NOT affected by this issue. If you experience an immediate crash upon starting Wireshark 4.6.1, you have two options for now: a. Revert to 4.6.0 by uninstalling 4.6.1 and downloading and installing 4.6.0 from the website; or b. Disable any Wireshark plugins you have installed which were not part of the Wireshark distribution package, by either removing those plugins or moving their files out of Wireshark's "plugins" directory. It is safe to use Wireshark 4.6.1 as long as it starts. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to contact us through the mailing list or on Discord. Your Wireshark Development Team
