Hi All

 

I have installed the NEW MS Edge on most of my endpoints but quite a few of them does not want to update the Flash player to the newest version? How can I get the offline update for this for Windows 10 and Windows 7?

    https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ lists the current version of Flash Player for the various browsers.  For Micrsoft, they embed Flash in IE & Edge and all updates are released via Microsoft Updates.  There's no separate installer for the embeddedv ersions.  You'll need to wait for Microsoft to release the update.

    In Windows 10, Edge will use only the copy of Flash Player installed in Windows. This is a Microsoft distribution, not available from Adobe. Edge on Windows 7 is anyone's guess, but you can try Adobe's OCX installer. You will need a distribution license - do you have one?

    But really, installing Flash when it is removed in just 3 months? Apple blocked it permanently this week in a surprise update. Maybe Microsoft did the same?
