Hi,

I do wonder if this somehow has to do with a corrupted personal configuration 
file. Therefore have a look at 
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChConfigurationPluginFolders.html
 
Rename the personal configuration folder to a backup name, (e.g., ws-backup) 
and try starting Wireshark again. It will now setup a new personal 
configuration folder, with default values, that hopefully work for you.

Good luck,
Jaap
