Adobe flash not working

I am no longer able to reliably view video content on my computer with  Adobe Flash Player. I usually get the message "could not load plug-in".

I have gone into my settings menu where it has not been disabled. I've even tried disabling it and then re-enabling it. I am told that it is integral to Chrome and automatically updated.. Any attempt to download it gets the message that it is already there. When I try to update it I am told that I already have the latest version.

I tried to watch one of the affected videos on Foxfire with no luck so tried to download Flash. It did download and start to install, but get stuck at 90%. The same thing with Edge (which I don't like).

I am running Windows 2010 on Windows 10 and use Google Chrome for preference.

ps. I chose the least wrong forum.

    I needed EaseUs again, and again it removed Flash. I consider this link now confirmed. EaseUs has now been uninstalled again and Flash reinstalled. Perhaps this link can be investigated, after all, your program is, in effect, being sabotaged by EaseUs.

    Flash Player is a built-in component on IE and Edge on Windows 10, so there's nothing required in terms of downloads there.

    In Chrome, I believe you're running into their new Plug-In Power Saver feature. 

    Go to chrome://plugins/ and check Always Allowed To Run next to Adobe Flash Player, and see if that helps.

    If not, if you actually click the download Flash Player link, then go back to the original page, Chrome should remember that you want to use Flash Player and will just play the content automatically.  My understanding is that Chrome is supposed to just consume the click and start playing the content, but I've definitely seen instances where it takes you to our download page first.  If that happens, just go back to the page and refresh, and Chrome should start playing the content as expected.  This user experience isn't great when that happens, but Google continues to tune it to make the experience better.
