Flash Player Installation - Helpful Redirect is Unhelpful

Question

I am usingWindows 10Microsoft Edge 38.14393.0.0Flash Player 24.0.0.194I am trying to update to Flashplayer ActiveX 24.0.0.221When I go to get.adobe.com/flashplayer, The One True and Only Place to Get Flash I get redirected to the Flash Player Issues page which informs me that I have Flash installed. There is nowhere on that page where I can get the latest version of Flashplayer.The "about" page shows that I am, indeed, using version 24.0.0.194 and should be using version 221. Again, the only links send me back to get.adobe.com which unhelpfully redirects me back to the "Issues" page.Is there any way to actually download the latest installer?

Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE/Edge browsers on Windows 10 and updates are distributed by Microsoft via Windows Update (not Adobe). While Microsoft cancelled the February Patch Tuesday updates (scheduled for release last Tuesday), according to Surprise! Microsoft issues Flash patches for Internet Explorer, Edge | InfoWorld Microsoft will be releasing the Flash Player updates. I have no other information besides what's in that article.

<edit>

I've been informed that Microsoft will begin releasing the Flash Player update today around 2:00 PM PST.
