Trying to watch a BBC weather video.    Says it requires Adobe Flash Player to watch it.     Checked status shows it loaded (pre-loaded with Windows 10) but disabled.     Checked in advanced settings where it is shown as "On".    Any ideas please.

It was working OK yesterday - but I downloaded an update and this seems to be the result!!!   Also if I log in as the administrator it works fine.  Thank you

    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.
