I just got a Windows 10 upgrade.  I cant get Flashplayer to work with Microsoft Edge, it works fine with Explorer.  Followed the directions to turn it on in the settings, still doesn't work.

    With the Windows 10 Creators Update (OS Version 1703), Microsoft implements Flash click-to-play, by default, on a per-site basis.  Microsoft does NOT provide the ability to enable Flash Player on all sites.  More information is available at https://blogs.windows.com/msedgedev/2016/12/14/edge-flash-click-run.

    1. Look in the address field for the puzzle piece:
    2. If the puzzle piece is visible, click on it to display the ‘Adobe Flash content was blocked’ message with the option to ‘Allow once’ or ‘Always allow’:
    3. Select either ‘Allow once’ or ‘Always allow’. Recall that this is on a per-site basis. Allowing it for this site will not allow it for any other site
    4. If the puzzle piece is not visible on the page, look for a ‘Download Flash’ or ‘Enable Flash’ link/button, or similar text, link, or button on the page.  Clicking on the text, link, or button will display the ‘Adobe Flash content was blocked’ window, from step 2.
