JAVA Error after uninstalling FLASH

Hi everyone, 

I'm not exactly sure if the removal of FLASH created the JAVA Script Error you see below but it started just after I uninstalled FLASH....

I, like all of us Windows users, received plenty of warning about FLASH coming to an end.

Well it did, and the last message I saw about FLASH no longer being supported came with a “Remove FLASH now” message which I thought OK let’s do it thinking that there was a new option available.

 

Well I haven’t seen any new updated to FLASH Player, all warnings never told you that a new alternative to FLASH Player can be downloaded HERE….nothin!

As a result I now see this JAVA Error message on bootup every time I restart my ASUS FX505D-AL014T Notebook, is this related to uninstalling the FLASH Player or is this some other issue?

Ta Thanks

Clint - Melbourne

    1. JavaScript is NOT the same as Java.  They are 2 entirely different programming languages.

     

    2. This doesn't appear to be related to Flash Player.  It looks like it's coming from Discord.  See link below.

    Flash Player has reached end-of-life.  The alternative is to migrate Flash content to some other technology. For reference, see:

     

    The error you're getting is Most likely not related to FLash, unless Discord relies on Flash Player, which Discord would be the folks to ask, not these forums.

     

    A search for something like "discord javascript error occurred in the main process require stack" returns several results (for the specific error in the first 4 lines of your screenshot) that may be helpful to you.
