Win 10, IE11 Flash Player Not installed (Windows Datacenter 2016)

Question

I have a Windows 10 VM, 64Bit and I'm using IE11. ActiveX filtering is off. I have gone to the Adobe website several times to verify my version of Flash but it says it isn't installed. I checked the manage add-ons areas while visiting YouTube and Shockwave doesn't show up as an add-on. Someone told me that if the videos are working on YouTube that Flash is installed, but I'm visiting a necessary website that requires flash and it tells me I need to install it. Not sure what to do at this point. I need Flash to be installed.

Thank you

Youtube long ago defaulted to HTML5 video, so it's not really a good site to gauge whether or not Flash is working. Flash is indeed pre-installed in IE on Windows 10. Not sure which Adobe site you've been to to verify Flash is working, but please try Flash Player Issues | Windows 10 | Internet Explorer . Click 'Test Flash Player' button. Does Flash content display?

What Windows 10 version is this on? Go to Settings > Advanced > About and provide the following information:
- Edition
- Version
- OS Build
What is the URL to the website that is not working (assuming it's a publicly accessible site)?
