Flash 11.9.900.152 and IE 11

Question

Same issues as most are having; black screen with audio on most sites. YouTube seems to be the only working site. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, I have read most of these recommendations and nothing works. I have an HP Pavilion dv7 running Windows 7 64 bit with Explorer 11. Flash runs well on some, not all, sites using Google Chrome. I don't have Mozilla.

All was fine when I ewas running IE 9 with Flash version 11.9.900.117. I tried to roll Explorer back and that ended up in not being able to connect to many sites. Really frustrated.

Is there a new fix or update coming to fix this (I'm assuming compatibility) issue?

IF there is a fix coming, it needs to come from Microsoft, because THAT'S where the problem is. IE11 isn't being recongized (due in large part to faulty code) by dozens, perhaps hundreds, of websites, including Yahoo, BBC, Facebook and ESPN just to name a few. If the browser isn't recognized, the Plugin isn't either. Adobe can't fix that.

Microsoft recommends enabling Compatibility View for affected pages. Problem with that fix is (as I've seen); it has met with very limited success at best, and Microsoft appears to be in no big hurry to release a real fix for it.
Basically their solution is "change the settings to pretend you're not really using IE11, but something else".
I'm not real big on "pretending", so I recommend actually using something else.

Firefox, Opera and Safari all use the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers).

Chrome has its own Flash Player built in.

ANY of them will work where IE11 won't.
