Hi All,
I would like you to follow these steps and the issue should be resolved.
-> Uninstall WinpCap using Revo(if possible)
-> Disable the Npcap driver service and then uninstalled the program. To disable NpCap:
- Run this command as an admin: sc.exe config npcap start= disabled
- Uninstall Npcap-> Reboot your device to safe mode with networking
->Download and install new Fing desktop version and then open it.
-> Reboot to normal mode and then check if it works for you.

Hi @DonAdams
With replacing the new ceritificate, I believe this will be only time, we need to perform update manually. Mostly Fing desktop automatically updates the software.Even for mac devices, it is an automatic process.Robin (Admin at Fing)

There is no question to restart my machine in safe mode.Here's what worked for me:- Close fing 2.4.1 and turn off his service.- Stop the Ncap service (with Processhacker)- Uninstall fing 2.4.1- Reinstall fing 2.5.1No need to reboot, no need for safe mode.
