Why are there no bridge packets in Wireshark?

Good evening!
I connected 2 network cards to my computer - after using windows I combined them into a network bridge - to 1 network card I connected 1 test station (PC1) and to the 2nd second test station (PC2), the bridge itself has the address 192.168.88.130
PC1- 192.168 .88.140
PC2- 192.168.88.150

Next, I wanted to collect packets from PC1 to PC2 with Wireshark installed on a computer with a bridge. But wireshark only shows packets that go TO or FROM the bridge address, it also shows broadcast packets.

Proximity mode is enabled.

Installed WinCap and WireShark, on all windows 10 computers

because that's how the bridge driver works. Only routing can give MiM, or a custom bridge driver. And so you will see the traffic between the bridge and the system.
