2020-01-06 STREAM-4301, STREAM-4409 Windows: Capture stops with "pcap_loop returned error code -1 read error: PacketReceivePacket failed; network capture stopped" and isn't restarted
Workaround:
Re-configure one of the streams assigned to the forwarder in the Stream app, for example, you can add/enable a dummy stream and disable it again later, or change on of the configuration options for an existing Stream

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/StreamApp/latest/User/ConfigureStreamsMetadata or restarting Splunk Forwarder service in Windows, for example through services.msc

Sample scenario where you might run into this: Reconfiguration of the NIC while Stream is running (for example, changing the flow control mode in our testing)
