Hi, I am using the browser Microsoft Edge and IE11, and meet a problem. When I want to watch a video or movie on the website, it cannot work and always displays that I need to update the flash player and gives me a link about how to switch on the flash on Edge because Edge itself had flash in it. But, after I followed the steps it provides, the video still cannot be played and still says flash need to be updated. Also, when I try to check my flash version the first day, it show me I have install 23.0.207, and I can see the little flash at the bottom of that page. However, when I check my version today, it says I didn't install or start one. I got confused and found a link and downloaded the latest one. Well, it cannot be install and says I have already had the latest one. And, IE11 also have this problem. So, what should I do? Thanks.

    Its Very easy...

    First press the combo

    -Windows (that button on the righr lowest row of your keyboard) + R

    -now type, or copy/paste this: inetcpl.cpl-You will get Internet properties, now select tab: Advanced options

    -Scroll down and you will see something like:

    "Use Software rendering instead GPU rendering"

    -check that box, safe it and restart Edge.

    Now it should work just fine:)

    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.

    Using the link you offer, I find that after I click the button to test flash player, it displays that i am mot running Microsoft Edge on Windows 10. So I decide to download one on Adobe Flash Player - Debug Downloads​, but when I install it, it shows that it meets a mistake, for my browser has got the latest one. So, what should I do?

    Plus, when I visit a certain website, it shows an error about too many times of redirection. I choose to clear all the cookies, but I need to do this almost every time I visit that website. So, do you have some better solutions? Quite thanks.
