Question

Flash player keeps asking to update

I am having the exact same problem, the exact same message at the same frequency.  I have searched for a solution but it seems as if there are many people who have this same issue and have posted in many places, but as of yet it seems unresolved.

I have already deleted Flash, and am still constantly bugged by this.

I've branched this to a new topic as the other one was a year old and might have been specific to 10.3.

Is this something you can reproduce?  We've had reports about this over the last couple of months but it appeared it might have been specific to certain web pages/frames that were asking for an incorrect version of Flash Player.  If you can easily reproduce this, I'd be happy to take a look.  Please let me know and we can schedule something.

Thanks,

Chris

I am the guy with the original problem who posted almost a year ago. Yes, it is still problem.

I have two flashing shield icons on my taskbar right now – "Adobe Fash Player is requesting your permission…".If I right-click / close window they are back within minutes. I get pop-up dialogs that dim the screen and force me to respond asking if I want to install the latest Flash Player.

I have done everything under the Sun to tell Adobe to stop asking me to upgrade.

I am sure most people just upgrade to the latest version, but since upgrading to the latest breaks my Dragon Naturally Speaking, I can't do that. I suffer with these obnoxious flashing shields and intrusive dialogues requesting that I upgrade.

Hi Barry,

Could you try extracting and placing the mms.cfg file that I've attached to this post into the following folder, then restart your browser (or system)? 

Windows 32bit: C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash

Windows 64bit: C:\windows\syswow64\macromed\flash

If an mms.cfg file already exists, please modify it to include the following two lines:

AutoUpdateDisable=1

SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0

This should disable Flash from checking for new versions.
