nRF sniffer not showing in WireShark

Tried with PCA10036 and PCA10031 on Windows 10. Both show as JLink CDC UART Port (COMx) in Device manager. Tried different versions of WireShark. Tried to erase and copy new files to C:\Program Files\Wireshark\extcap. Tried to erase and copy new files to AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\profiles\Profile_nRF_Sniffer_v2_001.
