Have you installed USBPcap when installing Wireshark? There used to be an issue on some machines where the initial query to USBPcap hangs on too many USB devices in the system. As it runs in a separate process, killing Wireshark doesn't kill that process, and the next starts of Wireshark thus skip USB hub discovery and start successfully. There is a bug open on this but there haven't been any news on it for months.
