I Have a problem where at some point in 2020 I uninstalled adobe flash player, after hearing of the EOL announcement, and now I'm getting 'ghost' updates from the windows 10 update center; and as such I can not dissmiss or install these updates, and I would really appreciate any help I can get regarding this issue.

Thanks in advance,

Ben.
