Cannot download Flash update as it redirects to Adobe.com

Current system: Windows 10 - Google Chrome 55.0.2883.87 m, Firefox 50.1.0 - Flash 23.0.0.207

I got a pop-up telling me to install the Flash update. When I go to Flash update, as usual this page opens:

Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

I click "Install Now" and get this page: Adobe: Creative, marketing and document management solutions  - in other words, clicking install now redirects to the adobe.com homepage.

When at this adobe.com homepage, I click "Flash player" at the bottom right, I am back at Adobe Flash Player Install for all versions

Clicking "Install Now" I again am redirected to the Adome.com homepage Adobe: Creative, marketing and document management solutions

Repeat endless times. In other words: I cannot download the update as I always am being redirected to Adobe: Creative, marketing and document management solutions instead. This has never happened before.

I already tried updating from the Flash Player Settings Manager, but the result is the same.

Does anyone know how to get past this?

Thank you.

If the update doesn't work, how about just getting a complete new install?

It is not the download in it that does not work, I simply cannot get access to a download because the INSTALL button redirects to the homepage of Adobe.com

I tried the link you gave, same problem.
