More information on Windows 10,Īdobe Flash was once used to run interactive multimedia applications like games or programs right from the web browser in the late 90s and early 2000s. Machines on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard will also receive this component via its Monthly Rollup and Security Only Update.Īdditionally, please note that when you update to Windows 10, version 21H1 or later, Flash will be removed. Titled the “Update on Adobe Flash Player End of support”, it outlines that a component called ‘Update for the removal of Adobe Flash Player’ will be included in Windows 10 cumulative update version 1507 starting in July.

Even after Adobe officially ended support for Flash on the very last day of 2020, Flash remains a component of Windows 10, that is until Microsoft releases the 21H1 update for Windows 10. The final nail in its coffin comes from Microsoft. Later, in early 2021, the company plans to distribute the update through WSUS and Windows Update.Adobe Flash is reaching the very end of its life.

The company also said that all “Flash content will be blocked from running in Adobe Flash Player after the support expiration date.” That is, the company has added or is planning to add a kind of time bomb to the Flash Player code to prevent its future use. said Adobe representatives in the summer of this year. The company intends not only to stop providing updates for the Flash Player, but will also remove all download links from its site to prevent users from downloading and installing unsupported software.
