You have to run it in a command prompt, not just double click it. There you should be able to run tshark -v and send that together with this info to gitlab as an issue at https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues so we can take a proper look. Without that info we cant do anything. Also interesting would be if you installed any updates or software since the last time it ran successfully. Please add that to the bug report as well
cheers

Could you try with another user? You could also try to run the command-line utility tshark, which is installed together with wireshark. An error like you described is not known to us.regardsAm Fr., 13.
