Hello!.

Although I have read some topics of the forum, I do not find strictly, mine.

My problem is that it does not allow me to download the latest version of Flash Player, I have version 25.0.0.127 and it does not let me download version 25.0.0.163 this happens to me in the Internet Explorer browser with Windows 10, and the McAfee antivirus that I have requires me to do this update. It is supposed to be automatically updated but this has not happened.

Thank you.

Hi,

As of Windows 8/10 Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and all Flash Player for IE updates are released by Microsoft, not Adobe.  You'll need to run Windows Update to update Flash Player for IE on Windows 8.1/10

Thanks!

As far as I know, Microsoft has LOCKED Internet Explorer and does not allow users to update Flash... only Microsoft, on their schedule
