Wireshark or one associated with it is already running [closed]

Question

I am trying to uninstall Wireshark. I closed all wireshark instances. but still it is giving error as Wireshark or one associated with it is already running. How to uninstall it ?

Answer 1

Alternatively you can also use the Windows cmd command

tasklist | findstr -i "cap"

And then check for any of the wireshark related component, something like usbcap, dumpcap and if you find one, use the below command to kill it.

taskkill -f /PID xxxx

Where xxxx is the process ID of the output of the first command.
