Cant reinstall my accidentally adobe program uninstall

I just got a new laptop this past month...so Im still learning. I accidentally clicked on the uninstall programs tab and of course the first thing on the list is adobe. So now I have no adobe. I tried going to adobe's website, but I keep getting caught in the feedback loop (its already installed). However, I have checked my programs and adobe is not there...I do have an adobe control panel. So, how can I reinstall adobe because I can't watch videos or anything...which defeats the purpose since I'm an online student. Please help ASAP---I am freaking out!!

Thanks

Hi lhudson5002,


Adobe has many products.  Which product are you referring to?

What OS and version is this?

I'm using windows 10 64 bit. I'm not sure exactly what it was because I just accidentally clicked it on my laptop. I think it was just adobe flash player

Hi lhudson5002,

If you're using Internet Explorer or Edge browser on Windows 10 you cannot uninstall Flash Player via the Control Panel.  Microsoft embeds Flash Player in these browsers and it doesn't have an entry in the Control Panel list of installed programs.


If you use a different browser (e.g. Firefox) then there is a separate installation of Flash Player for that browser.  Launch that browser and navigate to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer and download the installer.  Make note of the location the file was saved to.  Launch Windows Explorer and navigate to that location. Double-click on the installation file and follow the prompts to install Flash Player.


Google also embeds Flash Player in Chrome, so if you're using that, there is nothing separate to install.
