Flash runs on Mac not on windows based browsers

Question

HiI have been driven nuts trying all of the suggested avenues to get flash running as per the forums and official flash protocols for fixing and none have worked. I cannot run flash in Edge, Chrome, Opera and Firefox all of which are on my windows 10 based machines. Yet when I tried to run the same in chrome on a mac and this worked perfectly. I am bemused as to why and can only think that some windows based update has interfered with flash rather than this being a browser issue or there is a settign in windows that needs adjusting,I should mention I did try on a slower older machine and that worked, though that was running older versions and did not have bit defender. It may be a result of bit defender but i did try to disable the firewall and protection and reloaded and still not had any success Any advice on this pleaseJonathan

Just to let you know that i removed Bit defender totally from the computer and like magic flash worked so no to establish how to get flash to run with bit defender!!!!

Thanks to all of you for your support and help, it is genuinely appreciated

To Robert: and RidhijainI have installed flash correctly on the computer for all relevant browsers ie Firefox, Chrome as per the adobe instructions. When accessing sites that have a need for flash the jigsaw appears asking to load flash and I approve its use. Then the process hangs.Flash is enabled As for error messages just a hanging screen that does not load and no messages that i could have providedI tried using this another computer which was a mac running chrome for the same site all worked well.I have another laptop I borrowed that is older and all worked well.The desk top I have and windows laptop just do not connect which is baffling me.I have assumed that there is a setting somewhere that is preventing the access. I am now considering that bit-defender may be the problem but any other solution other than removing my virus protection would be appreciated.Thanks for your input so farKind regards
