This July, Microsoft is taking things one step further- KB4577586, aka Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player, will become mandatory for all versions of Windows 10.

The update in question won't remove third-party installations of the Flash player-only versions that have been bundled with Windows itself. The change seems unlikely to significantly impact most people-Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari each ended Flash support by January 1, 2021.Īlthough Internet Explorer 11 (and the IE mode in Microsoft Edge) supports direct installation of downloaded Flash players as a plug-in, the Adobe Flash Player itself has a built-in 'kill-switch' causing it to refuse to play Flash content if the system date is later than January 12, 2021. In addition to all builds of Windows 10, KB4577586 is available and will be installed as a security update on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard.
