Microsoft Edge Windows 10 Flash Player

Question

In the advanced settings, I have the flash player option turned on. however when I run the test on the website it says it is disabled. how do I fix this? Ever since I upgraded to windows 10, I feel like this has happened from the beginning. I have turned the option on and off, restarting my computer etc. it still says it is disabled.

IE and Edge have been a moving target in some regards, and we keep having to fix that test page to properly recognize Flash on Win10. I have another request in to get it fixed.

If you're running into problems with Flash not working in IE and Edge on some content, the following advice should help get you going:

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 and Edge introduce a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

The test button says Flash Player is disabled (and it is), even though my computer says it's on. Is there something else I need to do to enable? I'm running Windows 10.
