Npcap keeps updating and crashing the Sensors
Since last week, I keep having an issue where Npcap updates to a newer version than 1.0 and then sensors no longer work. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything, but an autoupdate hits somehow...

Recommendation is to remove Barracuda RMM device manager, for now. Also, I can confirm that changing the "AdminOnly" regkey did actually fix it, so that is another work around, if someone doesn't want to remove Barracuda RMM device manager.

Oct 26, 2022I bet there are some logs that shows when it starts. and you know when you deployed.
How long does it take to happen? minutes? hours? days ?
Putting 1.71 is an interesting test. let's see if its stays this way or you get nmap installed.
But either way, it won't tell us what it triggering this.

So it overwrote the 1.6 that I installed also. I this time I am able to see the install command line that is happening, but not why. Command line is: "npcap-oem.exe" /S /admin_only /require_version
The "admin_only" part is what is breaking things. Because its running npcap-oem.exe, this again indicates that its comming from Microsoft, because the OEM version is not something just downloadable.
