•Operating system version: Windows 10 Pro 10240

•Web browser and version: Microsoft Edge 20.10240.16384.0

•Flash Player version: 18.0.0.209

•Explain your problem in step-by-step detail if possible

Recently upgraded my OS from Windows 7 to 10. Although the newly introduced Microsoft Edge browser claims to have Flash built-in, toggling Enable Adobe Flash Player does not seem to work. Any website that requires Flash simply cannot detect it and asks for downloading one. On the official download page of Flash Player there is no version for Microsoft Edge listed. Windows Update is up-to-date. Meanwhile, IE, Chrome and Firefox all display Flash contents correctly.

This seems to happen only on some machines. My virtual machines running also Win10 work like a charm.

Would appreciate a fix for this.

We're trying to get to the bottom of this, but so far neither we nor Microsoft QA have been able to reproduce. When you guys see this issue in Edge, if you go to the settings menu and select "Open with Internet Explorer" does the problem persist?

Thanks,

Hi Chris,

I have exactly same issue. But when I try to open the same website in internet explorer, it works perfectly fine. It is really annoying as the settings show that adobe flash player is already on with latest version but when it comes to play video/audio using flash, it throws error. A sample screenshot is attached below.
