When logged-in as an administrator, the interfaces list appears immediately.
When logged-in with less privaledges it takes a long time (almost 1 minute on my PC) to display the interfaces, when starting a capture or listing the interfaces.


Download WinDump:

and try running WinDump with the "-D" flag as an administrator and as a user with fewer privileges - if WinDump takes longer to list the interfaces when you run it as a less-privileged user than it does when you run it as an administrator, this is a WinPcap problem, and should be reported to the WinPcap developers:
