Cannot play any flash videos (youtube) in IE, Other browsers work fine.

Question

Things to note.

This is happening on two servers but not for all users. It is not consistent between Admin/Std user accounts.

I've matched IE settings with a working account, checked content filtering, cleared cache and cookies, removed/ reinstalled Flash, made sure flash is enabled, rebooted, tried safe mode, all of that.

System info

Windows SBS 2011 SP1 x64

Intel Xeon 2.4Ghz

16GB ram

IE 11 (current)

Again, flash works fine in other browsers.

I'm grateful for any help with this issue.

Hi,I'm not familiar with Windows SBS 2011 and since it's not a supported platform, not something we test.Have you checked to see if ActiveX Filtering is disabled (see ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer ).youtube uses the html5 video player by default (https://www.youtube.com/html5​), unless you have something configured to force youTube to play videos using Flash Player, such as using compatibility mode, which would force youTube to use Flash Player if it's installed.Do you have a site other than youTube that definitely uses Flash Player that is not working?--Maria
