Question

In Windows 8, under manage add-ons, Flash player is listed under the heading Not Available, but is listed as being Enabled.

I Try to reinstall it but it tells me it is already pre-installed with my windows 8 and to turn off active x filtering or to enable it in manage add ons.  Active x filtering is not on, and it is currently enabled, it is just listed under the Not Available heading and I am guessing that is why it is not working when I go to view something that needs flash player.  Is there a way to uninstall it and reinstall it going around the windows preinstalled??  Or a way to get it out of the Not Available and into the Adobe heading in my add-ons??

    What you can do is either Reset IE (Gear > Advanced > Reset), or if that doesn't work, you'll need to go into Add/Remove programs, find the last Windows Update for Internet Explorer or Flash, uninstall it, then re-install it from Windows Update.  This will usually get you back to a good state with IE.
