[kimoo]

i used for long years to use Switch sniffer to monitor my network usage , so i likes it and used to use it , i found my self not able to use any other software , cause switch sniffer more easy and clear .
but now from time using Windows10 64bits it dose not work and keep appear that red errors in photo

the program was work fine with XP , and was work under windows 7 32bits with Administrator permission only
was not work in windows 7 64bits and windows10 64bits
i got Pcaps for win10 but still not work

i hope some expert can help me to run it , cause it's so important for me .
the available version of switchsniffer now is 1.4.0 , if you searched for newer you won't find, you will find all fake urls and fake apps ,
if anyone want to use the program , i can gave him it here

Hello Kimoo, you really like old legacy software don't you?

The problem is most likely that WinPcap is has not been developed for many years and so won't work on Win10. The de-facto replacement is NPcap:
https://nmap.org/npcap/

Npcap is usually installed along with for instance Wireshark, but you could try it. Uninstall WinPcap first and reboot, then install Npcap. I still use the old Windump (from 2006) occasionally, and Npcap works for it.

If you're lucky, the Switch Sniffer will work with Npcap instead. Otherwise, I'm sure there's tons of similar tools out there:

Please send me the program in a zip file over Private Message.

@Gwen-Dragon said in Switch Sniffer not work under windows 10 64bit:

@kimoo my idea: Set in exe file property the Compatibility mode to older win XP or 7 and install and later run!

Hi, I think you have to live with it, some ancient software will not run on Windows 10.
Many companies had problems with change to Win 10 and some still pay for Windows 7 support. The government in Berlin pay 1.000000€ per year for this.
Maybe you can use a Windows 7 virtual machine in bridge mode, it connect the network directly to the Windows 10 host. Check the web for Virtualbox, for example.
Windows 10 include a virtual machine,too but I am not familiar with it.

Cheers, mib
