Adobe Flash does not recognize Microsoft Edge

I cannot figure this out.

I've never had flash tuned off, but no sites will recognize it. Even the adobe testers on their own site, specifically the cloud animation with the refresh button on it and the one located directly on the page which only contains the one suggestion which essentially make sure you've got the thing plugged it. Thing is, I've never even turned it off. I only noticed something was up when a site asked me to click to use the flash content, followed by reporting that I had no flash. Edge is integrated with it, and no downloader will let me install on system because of that fact.

Any suggestions?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

That is a Microsoft problem, because Microsoft has LOCKED Edge and Internet Explorer... which means that YOU may not apply any Flash updates to either browser... they are totally controlled by Microsoft
