Adobe's Flash Player uninstaller only uninstalls Flash Player installed by the end user.  It doesn't unintall any Flash Player embedded in the browser by the browser vendor (e.g. Flash Player ActiveX Control embedded in IE/Edge in Windows 8.x and above). If the OS is Windows 8.x and above, you'll need to use Microsoft's KB4577586: Update for the removal of Adobe Flash Player to remove the embedded Flash Player ActiveX.  Please read through this document carefully before doing anything.  This support page has a link to the Microsoft Update Catalog, which contains 43 different files for the different Windows versions and architecture.  Make sure you download the correct file for your Windows version and architecture.  If you experience issues with this update, please contact Microsoft as it’s their update, not Adobe’s.   Additionally, the script you're using is not provided by Adobe, thus we can't provide assistance with it.  You'll need to contact whomever created the script for assistance. ...

If the logo you're referring to is the following:   Some software program on your computer requires Flash Player.  Now that Flash Player has been removed the software can't find the plugin and displays this logo on the desktop.  You'll need to figure out which program you have installed requires Flash Player and is displaying this logo on the dekstop..  One such program we're aware of that requires Flash Player (and will no longer work) is SmileBox. ...

I'm not finding any information on windows update KB5991567.  Is this the correct update?   Flash Player reached end-of-life at the end of 2020 and most browser vendors have removed support for Flash Player.  With that said, Adobe, and browser vendors announced in July 2017 that Flash Player would reach end of life at the end of 2020.  This gave content providers (in this case Logitech) over 3 years to prepare and remove Flash Player support from their products. Logitech is the one that needs to fix this in their product to use some other technology besides Flash. Logitech's comment "However as per checking Microsoft has released a Windows update that removes Adobe's Flash Player before it reaches end of support on December 31, 2020." is confusing.  I wonder if they are referring to KB4577586, which while released last year, was optional, not required, and users had to actively look for it and run it to remove the bundled Flash Player. It was only within the last month or so that Microsoft started including this in their update (see https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-force-installs-windows-10-update-to-remove-flash-player/)     For reference: https://theblog.adobe.com/adobe-flash-update/ https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html   Browser support information: Apple Safari - Flash Player support removed in Safari 14, released Sept 16, 2020 Google Chrome - Flash Player support removed in Chrome 88, released Jan 19, 2021 Firefox - Flash Player support removed in Firefox 85, released on Jan 26, 2021.
