"blank Desktop"



I've been having issues installing Fing Desktop, which Robin has helped me with.

However after a day of working the Fing desktop showed "Fing Service not found" . I removed the application & reinstalled and it worked fine.
But now the following day I have this. The service is still running & listening, but this is all I get on the home page (the report is blank). Notifications shows my last message (upon starting the desktop yesterday), Outages works & community links correctly. I'm loathe to reinstall Fing every day to make it work.
This is version 1.4.1, as you can see from the screenshot

Fing agent needs the Windows libraries which are installed with the WinPcap package during FingDesktop installation, it used to make packet capture and filtering useful our engine to protocol analyzers and network monitors.
Fing agent service cannot work properly without the correct installation of WinPcap.
Please open the command prompt and return the output:
sc query npf
it's useful to understand if the WinPcap has been installed correctly and it is running properly.
If possible please uninstall the older version of WinPcap and install the latest version of Win10Pcap from here and check.
I look forward to your reply.

The WinPcap project has ceased development and WinPcap and WinDump are no longer maintained. We recommend using Npcap instead.
I do have to admit though I have only done this today, I believe this has most likely fixed my issue but I only have about 8 hours of uptime to go on, I'll have to see what happens tomorrow.
You can install the WinPcap from here as well for Windows 10 and it will work: http://www.win10pcap.org/
Please make sure to uninstall WinpCAp and then uninstall Fing Desktop and then install this package.
