Question

Sudden "couldn't load plugin" for all flash features in chrome, including Twitch and flash-based games.

I have recently upgraded to Win10, and I was using chrome pretty alright for a while, without any issues, however from one day to another i'm having "couldn't load plugin" in any flash-related programs/websites on Google Chrome.

Chrome ver: 45.0.2454.46 beta-m (64-bit)

Flash ver: 19.0.0 (however my folder says it's the 18.0.0.209 version).

I'm at a loss, tried disabling it, running chrome as admin, it's so sudden, i don't know what to do.

I had the same issue all of the sudden.  I went through all the steps in chrome.  Disabled/Enabled Plugin, Updated plugin via chrome://components, uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome and rebooted the system, but still did not resolve my issue.

My Fix is below in case it helps anyone else.  It seems for some reason the content in the PepperFlash folder was somehow corrupt.

Opened chrome and browsed to chrome://plugins

Located path to the flash player plugin and delete the "PepperFlash" Folder (You can rename.old if you don't want to deleted)

Rebooted and relaunched a flash site and this was now working again.

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 19.0.0.226

Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0

Name: Shockwave Flash

Description: Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0

Version: 19.0.0.226

Location: C:\Folder\Path\PepperFlash\19.0.0.226\pepflashplayer.dll

    Google Chrome recently updated the version of Flash Player in Chrome and blocked the older insecure version. 

    My guess is that updating Chrome would have fixed it, or simply rebooting (which forces the issue of making you exit and restart Chrome).

    Not at all. I went as far as removing chrome, rebooting and reinstall the

    latest version and made sure the flash plugin was also the latest version.

    What I though above seems to have been a lucky fix as the issue has come up

    again. The next thing I am going to do will be to delete and create a new

    user profile since it seems to work fine for other accounts.
