I have windows 10 my operating system is 64 Bit Operating System; x64-base operating system.

Windows Edge will not recognize Flash Player as being enabled. I have followed all the steps to insure that it is on in advanced settings numerous times and have reset browser each time after doing so. I even tried turning it off reset, then turned it back on and reset browser, it still says that the flash player is disabled.. help...

You need to search Microsoft – Official Home Page

Microsoft has LOCKED Edge and Internet Explorer so users may not update Flash Player

So, JTS, if this is accurate, how can I enable Flash on our PCs running W10 and Edge? I have spent a lot of money on buying Adobe licences.

What Windows 10 version is this on?  Please go to Settings > System > About and provide the following information:

  • Edition
  • Version
  • OS Build
  • System type

For the vast majority of use cases, Flash Player distribution license is free.  In the case of Flash Player ActiveX for IE/Edge on Windows 10 there is NO distribution license as Flash Player is embedded in IE/Edge by Microsoft with all updates being released by Microsoft via Windows update.  The Adobe licenses you have purchased are for other, non-Flash Player, products.

Hi Doug204

Thank you for providing the OS information.  The system has the latest Windows 10 (Creators Edition).  With this release, Microsoft has implemented Flash click-to-play on Edge, which disables Flash by default and the user must enable it, per-site. There is no 'always allow Flash' option. For more information, including instructions to enable Flash, per-site, see Extending User Control of Flash with Click-to-Run - Microsoft Edge Dev BlogMicrosoft Edge Dev Blog
