That's a problem with the content.  You'll either need to use a different browser, or the content provider will need to modify their site.

This is not a content issue because this issue is happening not only on one site that requires Flash Player but on all sites

Flash Player ActiveX is for Internet Explorer, not Chrome, which uses the PPAPI plugin.  Is this happening on both IE and Chrome?

Launch Chrome and navigate to chrome://flash.  Copy and paste the following information:

  • Google Chrome version
  • OS
  • Flash plugin path.


For example:

Google Chrome65.0.3325.181 ()
OSWindows 7 or Server 2008 R2 SP1 64 bit
Flash plugin29.0.0.113 C:\Users\<UserID>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\PepperFlash\29.0.0.113\pepflashplayer.dll

Please provide links to problematic content.  The links should be to the Flash content in question, and should not require a user account to access. We should not have to search a site for the content.

Launch Chrome and navigate to chrome://site-engagement.  For the problematic site, what is the number listed in the Base column?

Thank  you.


Flash Player ActiveX is for IE. It's not used by Chrome.  You're most likely seeing this in Control Panel list of installed programs.

The reason Flash Player PPAPI plugin is not listed in Control Panel list of installed programs is because Chrome is using the embedded version, which Chrome installs to the User's AppData directory, as indicated in the Flash plugin path you posted.

Please provide the direct URL to content that is not working, as previously requested


Also try the following:

  • In chrome://site-engagement
    • Change the number for the site to 100
    • Restart Chrome
    • Does the content display?
  • In chrome://settings/content/flash
    • Add the following to the list of allowed sites:
    • Restart Chrome
    • Does the content display?

Some additional troubleshooting steps are posted on Google's help document at Use or fix Flash audio & video - Computer - Google Chrome Help
