TCPView bug: sometimes does not display active connections or remotes

I noticed sometimes, in a resumed Windows session on a laptop, with TCPView open for some time, it seems like it stops displaying new connections and remote addresses.

The remote addresses are all *, and no established connections get shown despite active browsing, etc. I haven't noticed any other app issues while this happens.

Restarting the application does not yield expected capture and recording of the IP table.

This is on Windows 10 22H2 x64 with TCPView 4.19 (latest release) x64.User's image I deleted the tcpview.ini file found under the AppData directory, and that didn't fix this issue.

I beleive I have encountered this once before, and a restart fixed it.

I'm wondering if the Windows net table chnages or something when the laptop is suspended? (this is also on a dual-boot where sometimes resuming will boot up from BIOS/EFI and then require the bootloader into Windows).

    I get the same. I tried a sample of the servers I administer. Around half were impacted.

    Rebooting is not really an option as these are live 2019 servers.

    I am running tcpview64.exe as admin. I suspect it's a windows thing but netstat run as the same user as admin seems to me able to show the connection.
