Dear Experts,

Recently I've updated my Adobe Flash player and every single time I open a new tab or new window of IE, it stuck!! I turn on Task Manager to find out suspicious programs, and then I saw this "FlashUtil64_19_0_0_226_ActiveX" with description "Adobe Flash Player Installer/Uninstaller 19.0 r0"

Every single time I start IE to any website with Flash player Embedded (almost every website has it), this process will start and caused my IE hang. Every single time I have to kill process tree, and the website can run smoothly, even with all the Flash Payer Fully functional.

Before I've reinstall Adobe Flash Player, it sometimes pop up "FlashUtil32...ActiveX" and sometimes it is "FlashUtil64...ActiveX". After I reinstalled, I only notice "FlashUtil64...ActiveX"

Please help to get rid of this bug. it is not hard to keep task manager on and kill this process every single time I open a new page or new tab. but it is very annoying.

Dear Experts,

I've done a clean unsinstall and installed an older version, following the thread How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player?

Same thing happened! it used to be 19.0 r0. now it is 18.0 r0.

Then I update the version back to 19.0. same scene.

Please share if there is any solution for this inconvenience. If the purpose of this process is as indicated in it's description, "installer/uninstaller", there is no need to keep invoke this process every single time when there is a content in the webpage that requires Flash Player.

I open 10+ different tabs for different website, each pending another to complete this "installer/uninstaller" process. Imagine that.

There came this voice asking, "Is this a scheme to obsolete IE?"
