I stopped using Wireshark for first-line troubleshooting after discovering Windows' built-in packet capture tool

Windows has shipped a built-in packet capture tool called pktmon since Windows 10 version 1809, but most home lab users are unaware of it. Unlike Wireshark, pktmon runs entirely from the command line, requires no installation, and can observe traffic across the full networking stack including virtual switches, Hyper-V, and container networking. It captures to an ETL file that can be converted to a pcap format for Wireshark analysis. Its CLI-only nature makes it scriptable and ideal for headless environments where installing GUI tools isn't practical. While it doesn't replace Wireshark for deep analysis, it serves as a fast, frictionless first-line diagnostic tool.
