I have been trying to enable Adobe Flash Player 20 PPAPI , I have Chrome as a browser. The instructions to enable flash player has me type in the address bar chrome://plugins. The next screen lists the flash player 20.0.0.228 as well a chrome pdf viewer, widevine content decryption module and native client. Each one has a disable button and when you click on the button it now says enable. When I click on enable each of these now say PPAPI out of process. I have tried enabling and disabling them. Does anyone know the correct order ???? All of these plugins are PPAPI.   Please help me.

My guess is that you're looking for a solution to a specific set of symptoms.  It might be more productive to back up and talk about what's motivating you to try and enable Flash (it's enabled in Chrome by default).  Screenshots and/or step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the problem with links would be very productive feedback.

Hi frankc30538420,

Each plugin will have its own disable/enable plugin, as each individual plugin can be disabled/enabled.

If the disable button is present it means the plugin is enabled and clicking the disable button will disable the plugin.  "PPAPI (out-of-process)' simply identifies the plugin-in type (PPAPI replaces NPAPI, an older plugin model).  Out-of-process means it runs in its own process, for security reasons.

If the Flash Player plugin has the disable button, then it's enabled.  To confirm, go to helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html and click the Check Now button.  The widget will get the OS, browser, and plugin version installed on your system and display it.
