Is anyone aware of any known issues with the Flash Player install and Windows 10? I use Firefox as my browser, and although the it connects to the get.adobe page with no problem none of the content of the page ever displays (I have tried other browsers with the same result, so I think it is a Windows 10 issue?)

Download install

Hello all,

Circling back on this. The download page should display correctly for all supported browsers.

Flash Player installer will be available for download when visiting the page using Firefox or Opera browser

Google Chrome embeds Flash Player, as such, there is no installer to download and the page will indicate this.

Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Edge and Internet Explorer, as such, there is nothing to install. Visiting the page with either one of these browser will redirect to Flash Player Issues | Windows 10 | Microsoft Edge or Flash Player Issues | Windows 10 | Internet Explorer

Found the problem and fixed.

Download the latest version of the flash player.

It doesn't show up after the download and install, but in Windows 10 new desktop screen.

Go the the Search the web and windows box ant type in (Adobe Flash Player)

It will show up.

Open, and go to the settings to allow this to run.

Go to the updates.

Change the update settings to allow automatic updates.

Worked after doing this for me.

Hope this helped

Hi Peter and Angunguak,

The folks who handle the download page have been made aware of this issue with the download page.

To provide them with additional information, can both of you provide the User Agent string information returned when you go to What's My User Agent? with the various browsers you use? You can omit IE,as Microsoft began embedding Flash Player in the browser beginning with Windows 8.

Thank you.

Hi angunguak,

Thanks for providing the User Agent string. I'll forward this to the appropriate folks. Yes, the page will be blank for the time being. I don't know when it'll be fixed. In the mean time, you can use the link Pat posted above, on 04-Feb.

Also, beginning with Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer. There will be nothing to download for IE on Windows 8 and above on get.adobe.com/flashplayer. Updates come from Microsoft using Winows Update.

Google also embeds Flash Player in Chrome and distributes the updates. Like IE, there will be no nothing to download for Chrome on get.adobe.com/flashplayer.
