I upgraded from Windows 8.1, which previously had been upgraded from Windows 8, and which had previously been upgraded from Windows 7.

I have even done the most recent update for Windows 10, and the problem still persists with Edge.

I can switch to Internet Explorer, but that runs really slow, or to another browser like Chrome or Firefox. They all work fine with Adobe Flash.

I always go to the Advanced settings in Edge, and it always has Adobe Flash enabled.

I even tried disabling it and then coming back and enabling it.

Alas, no change.

Note that SpeedTest.net works fine

If you're seeing the Flash content on speedtest.net or www.homestarrunner.com in IE and Edge, then Flash is working.  The issue you're experiencing is a content issue related to the JavaScript on the page that you're viewing.  The content provider will need to fix their site to confirm to the requirements that are now imposed by IE and Edge.

Here's my advice from the first post.

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.

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