Does Flash Work In Windows 10?

Question

I don't need any lectures, just a simple answer to a simple question.

I've been told that the current version of Windows 10 has been designed to prevent any version of Flash from working in any way/capacity.  Is this correct?

Thank you.

Answer 1

No lectures - Yes, that is correct.

Answer 2

I already know all that.  I'm not blaming Adobe for MS's decision not to let Flash play in W10; that's what I'm blaming MS for.  But apparently that's not quite right.  I sent one of my videos to Real, and it plays just fine on their machine, which doesn't have Flash installed.  Real suggested I download K-Lite codecs (which includes MPC-HC) and I did.  The result is that the videos still won't play in RP, but MPC-HC and Windows Media Player will play them.  So this is where I stand right now, which is less than ideal.  I have 138 videos in 11 playlists in RP.  If we can get RP to play those videos, there's nothing else for me to do.  If I have to switch to another media player, I have to recreate all those playlists.  An alternative would be to use RP's file format conversion tool, but that's still a ton of work, especially if I still have to re-create the playlists.  Also, somebody on another forum says Flash plays just fine on 2004; maybe it's only 20H2 that supposedly won't let Flash play in any way/capacity.

As for contacting Adobe, apparently I would have to create an account there just to do that.

Hi,

Just a quick Note: Flash is owned by Adobe and it was their decision to discontinue it. It has so many security issues. You may reach out to the developer for an alternative.

Thanks for the quick response.  Of course, I don't like it.  Another perfect example of M$ hijacking peoples' computers and telling them how, and hot not, to use their own property.  Thanks again.
