How to disable hardware acceleration in Windows 10

In Windows 7, I could disable hardware acceleration by simply right-clicking a Flash Player video/animation and entering settings.

In Windows 10, the ability to do this seems to have been removed from the settings section.

Thank you for your help.

Correct answer MrX1980

It is solved with Flash Player v20

Flash Player "Enable Hardware acceleration" setting for Edge and IE on Windows 8/10

The “Enable Hardware acceleration” option has been introduced to support the manual switching between software and hardware accelerated operations for the following features:

Video playback

Stage3D rendering.

The option is intended to allow users to force a software fallback to resolve display problems caused by faulty GPU drivers.

I also missing the tab "Hardware acceleration" within IE11 and Microsoft Edge (Active-X / 19.0.0.226). Firefox (NPAPI / 19.0.0.228) and Google Chrome (PPAPI / 19.0.0.207 & 228) has this tab.

I see this on different devices (2x PC & 1x Notebook)

Currently I'm using Windows 10 Insider Build 10565 x64 german (de-de)

Microsoft Edge & IE11:

Google Chrome & Firefox:
