[Winpcap-users] WinPcap 4.1.3 not working anymore on Windows 10 build 10041

Wed May 6 16:41:00 UTC 2015

Hi everyone,

It would appear that this post on technet is correct:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4dc4d3d2-b47c-4297-b089-5f11e9c2ff8c/10041-and-winpcap-413-anyone-using-this

Windows 10 build 10074 does appear to be working again with WinPcap 4.1.3.

Chris.
