Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020, via Windows Update. Group policies are available for enterprise admins and IT pros to change the Flash behavior prior to that date. Companies reliant on Flash for development and playback of content are encouraged to remove the dependency on Adobe Flash prior to December 2020. Adobe Flash Player will not install. I have repeatedly tried to install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player but it WILL NOT install. It downloads fine, but when clicking on install, it loads the Adobe Installation file (window), but does nothing but lock up my computer.
| Important Reminder: |
| Flash Player's end of life is December 31st, 2020. Please see the Flash Player EOL Information page for more details. |
