[Winpcap-users] Windows 10 support for WinPcap

[Sven Kerschbaum]

Oh, I have to admit that I did not try it on an update to date Windows 10
system... Thanks for the hint that this was only an issue in early Windows
10 versions.

I was also not aware of the Npcap. Thanks for pointing me to this fork! How
does Npcap differ from WinPcap with respect to performance, feature? At
least I am missing the possibility to get notified about media state
changes (connected, disconnected) in WinPcap. Does Npcap offer such a
functionality?

Furthermore: Is WinPcap still under active development? Its last release
was in 2013. Or I am better advised to rely on Npcap?

Thank you!
Best regards,
SK
