Why would wireshark on one PC capture LLDP packets and another not?

I have a device that's transmitting Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packets. I have two Windows PCs running Win10 Enterprise, ver 22H2, build 19045. The device and the PCs are all on the same sub-net, on their own layer 2 Netgear switches. Both PC's are running v4.2.0 of wireshark. I add filter eth.type==0x88cc to wireshark on both PCs. One PC captures the device's LLDP packets, the other does not. What could be the issue?

Typical troubleshooting would be to swap PC's and see if the issue stivks to the PC or to the switch.

Also Wireshark profiles may be different on the two instances.

Perhaps a switch in the network recognizes the lldp packet and so does not forward it.
