I need to install •Flash Player for Internet Explorer - ActiveX for windows 10.

Hi renemoya57

What fix on the Adobe site to uninstall and install it again are you referring to?  The Uninstall Flash Player for Windows tech note specifically states:

These instructions are NOT applicable to Flash Player included with Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and later or with Google Chrome on all supported operating systems.  Please visit the Flash Player Help page for instructions on enabling (or disabling) Flash Player in various browsers.

Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE/Edge browser on Windows 8 and 10 the Flash Player uninstaller completely ignores Flash Player for IE/Edge on those platforms.

You can try the following options to repair the system:

• Run System File Checker: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/9298333
• If that doesn't work, you an try refreshing Windows: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/12415/windows-10-recovery-options

It's recommended you back-up your system before performing either of these, especially the system refresh.

If neither of these options work, please contact Microsoft for assistance, since they are the ones that embed Flash Player in their system (and lock the files so that they cannot be easily deleted by the end-user).
