Hi ajayk12786268

As of Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player ActiveX Control in Internet Explorer and Edge browser on Windows 10.  All Flash Player ActiveX Control updates are released by Microsoft via Windows Updates (this includes Windows 10).  While Flash Player ActiveX Control appears to install on Windows 10 it actually doesn't - the files are saved, but Flash Player itself doesn't update in teh browser, and this is a bug that will be fixed soon.  The installer shouldn't run at all on Windows 10.  Please run Windows Update to install Flash Player ActiveX Control for IE/Edge on Windows 10.  If you downloaded Flash Player installers from the official distribution page there is a note stating Flash Player ActiveX Control is for Windows 7 and below, not Windows 8 and above.

For Server 2008, Flash Player is not officially supported on any Windows Server (see Adobe Flash Player | Tech specs  for supported platforms).
