Question

Does Windows Updates manage Flash updates on Windows 10?

We are prepping our new Windows 10 load in an enterprise environment.   I believe Flash is integrated and updated within Win10 and controlled by Windows updates.  Any ideas or online resources to confirm?

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, this is true for Flash Player for IE/Edge only, as Microsoft embeds Flash Player ActiveX Control in IE/Edge browser.  If you use other browsers (e.g. Firefox, Opera, etc) you will need to manage the deployment of Flash Player for those browsers, via distribution license (usually free for most use cases). Information on Flash Player distribution license is available at Adobe Flash Player Distribution | Adobe

I have been getting a new update notice but simply cannot find what update to my flash player is required so it hasn't been done. I have Windows 10 and use Chrome and my browser. Can anyone help me please?

For IE/Edge, Microsoft releases the Flash Player update via Windows Update


For Chrome, launch Chrome and go to https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer to download and install the latest version
