    Here's my generic advice for Win10 and Edge/IE11:

    First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

    Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

    You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

    If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

    IF that doesn't help, the answer to Maria's question above would be very useful.

    do you have multiple account types (e.g. standard user, admin user) and it works on one but not the other?

    Since Windows 10 Integrates flash into the Operating System, You MUST use Microsoft Updates to update that Flash player, Nothing you download here will correct this. This is all on Microsoft unfortunately.

    Please try to see if you have any pending updates by running Windows Updates.
