W 10 Flash player listed as disabled while toggle switch is turned on

Report · Aug 25, 2016

I have a Dell laptop with W10 installed. Adobe Flash is supposed to be integral to W10. When I do the Flash test, it says the flash is disabled. When you to Advanced Settings and check the Flash switch, it is turned on. I have toggled it to no avail.

What should I do next? If W10 has flash, the on toggle should make it work.

We are assuming that you are referring to the EDGE browser since you did not mention it?

Is this a Windows 10 Upgrade or Clean install?

Windows 10 flash player is updated with Windows updates, check there and see if you have any, in 10 these are suppose to be automatic on the background unless you turned it off in Group Policy in Win10 pro.

I am also going to point you to this post here:Re: Guide to Manually updating Flash Player for Windows

It has some additional posts for some official things to try as well as some safe but some non common things to try as well

Best Regards

Please be sure to mark my post here helpful or answered if I assisted you

Thanks for your quick reply. I am using Edge and the computer started on W7, went to W8 and then did the W10 upgrade. I will try the link you provided and let you know what happens. My computer is set to automatic upgrades.

Again, Thank you for your help. And, I will report your post helpful.
