Hi Everyone,
I was just doing some reading, and I came across this, and I thought some might be interested in what I copied and pasted below. Microsoft force installs Windows 10 update to remove Flash Player By Lawrence Abrams February 17, 2021 11:19 AM 4 Adobe Flash Microsoft is force installing a Windows 10 update that removes the embedded 32-bit version of Adobe Flash Player from the operating system. In October, we reported that Microsoft had released the KB4577586 optional update to remove the embedded 32-bit Flash Player from Windows and prevent it from being installed again. 32-bit Flash shown in Windows 10 Control Panel This update was only available from the Microsoft Catalog, and once installed, could no longer be removed. This update marks an end to embedded Flash in the Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows Server operating systems. Starting yesterday, Microsoft has begun to distribute the 'Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 (KB4577586)' update via Windows Update as what they state is an optional update. IMPORTANT As part of the end of support for Adobe Flash, KB4577586 is now available as an optional update from Windows Update (WU) and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). Installing KB4577586 will remove Adobe Flash Player permanently from your Windows device. Once installed, you cannot uninstall KB4577586. For more details about Microsoft's plans, see Update on Adobe Flash Player End of Support. In our tests, though, the update is automatically installed without your permission and without prompting you first. Automatically installing the KB4577586 update Once installed, the KB4577586 update will be listed under 'Other Updates' in the 'View update history' section, as shown below. KB4577586 update automatically installed BleepingComputer has contacted Microsoft to confirm if the update's automatic installation is a mistake but has not heard back. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-force-installs-windows-10-update-to-remove-flash-player/ Janet Peace Be With You.

I can't imagine how I let this one pass me by, but I did. Are you talking about the tool to uninstall Flash, when you mentioned you got a file to uninstall flash? J\Janet
