Since downloading Win 10 this past weekend, I am only getting either green screens or stop and go video.Adobe says no need to download newest Flash, it's already embedded with Win 10, everything is hunky dory.Well. it's not.Have there been issues with Flash with Win 10 downloads?

Hi,

 

Please try adding DisableHardwareAcceleration=1 to the mms.cfg file.  The file is saved at the following location:

      • 32-bit OS: C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
      • 64-bit OS: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash

if the file doesn't exists, you can create the file manually (using Notepad or other text edit software) and save it in the appropriate directory.  Note that saving to this location requires Admin permissions.  You'll need to either launch Notepad as Administrator, or save the file to some other location (e.g. desktop) and then move it to the appropriate location.  When using Notepad, the default file extension is .txt.  Please be sure to change this to .cfg.

Thanks

Windows 10 manages ActiveX variants of flash through windows updates. Period! DO not try to get them from adobe the way you use to in the past as they simply will not work. Period!

same thing. When I try and download Newest Flash Player, Windows 10 overrides it as you know. No one has offered a response to our questions!

Well Jerry, thanks for caring (sniff, sniff).MS sent me a 'Would you recommend Windows 10 to a friend"? Guess what I said? In addition to the Flash player problems, my Norton security system wasn't running for a couple of days,the confusing, Unintuitive settings/icons, etc.I really regret downloading this.
