I'm having problems with flash player. I have confirmed that it is enabled on my laptop -windows 10 edge-, however when I am trying to stream music on amazon it is telling me flash player is not detected. Can anyone help?

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

Every time I attempt to use flash player(came part of Microsoft Edge) I get a non compataable issue. I have check to see if my flash player is enabled which it is and filtering is ok. But when I attempted to watch Xfinity TV. I got this message:

Flash compatibility issue

XFINITY® TV requires a more recent version of Flash.

Please update to the latest version of Flash and ensure your browser is Flash compatible.

Flash (15.0.0.152+).

But I have a recent issue of Flash player, its in Microsoft edge in Windows 10/ Can anybody help? I have not yet tried to delete Flash Player, in order to reinstall it. Afraid it could screw it up more. What I need is a fix. I can find any compatability problem cause I follow their instructions to see within settings if Flash is enabled which it is and I can not update it cause I get the above statement. Which prevents me from watching Xfinity TV.

Yeah, there's nothing to uninstall on Win8 and higher. Attempting to do the manual delete instructions for Win7 will mess things up.

I'm not sure if that error message is actually complaining that Flash is too old, or if it just can't detect it, period. I'm guessing that in this instance, it's the latter.

Here's my generic Win10 advice:

If that doesn't work, run Windows Update and make sure that you have all available updates installed.
