    I have the same issue when I try to watch TV using Uverse it tells me to make sure Flash is enabled and when I check settings it shows it is on. And like you when I check with Adobe's website it says Flash is disabled.

    This all seemed to start after Microsoft pushed their latest security update I spent 2 hours on the phone with them trying to get a resolution they even restored my system to a previous date with no luck so they shipped me over to Adobe.

    If this is on Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) the behaviour you are experiencing is most likely due to Microsoft's click-to-play implementation, which disables Flash Player by default and users must enable Flash Player on a per site basis.  For more information, see Extending User Control of Flash with Click-to-Run - Microsoft Edge Dev BlogMicrosoft Edge Dev Blog​.  Per this Microsoft tech note "If the website you are visiting is trying to show you Flash content and you do not see the puzzle piece in the address bar please click the Ellipses, go to “Send Feedback” in the menu, then “Report site issue”, and write in the description that you believe this site is not working due to Flash Click-to-Run."

    if you continue to have issues with Edge's implementation of click-to-play, please contact the content provider and/or Microsoft for assistance: https://support.microsoft.com/ or Microsoft Community

    The answer you sent me was correct but I don't see any option to select "correct" below your response.

    Thanks!
