Some Flash Player Help, Please

[Mel]

Flash Player is dead, as we all know. Despite that, about 20 or more times a day, I get a Flash Player popup, which is extremely annoying. Supposedly, Windows removed Flash Player at the end of the year. I certainly can't find it on my system. Yet I get that damn popup when I'm online. Any idea how to get rid of it? Thanks.

It looks to me as though it's still installed, or part of it is.

Do you know how to get to your list of installed programs? That's where you have to attempt to uninstall it from.

Yes.

Whether I go through Settings, or Control Panel, there is no Flash Player listed.

Thanks for trying, Gary. (Is your name Gary?)

I might not have the latest Windows, as it is apparently "optional." I'll install that and see what happens.

What version of Windows are you using?

This may or may not be helpful since I don't know your system specs.

Update for the removal of Adobe Flash Player: October 27, 2020

My laptop is a top of the line Dell for gaming less than a year old.

That makes it Windows 10. It was version 1909. I updated it to 20H2 and I still have this annoying popup.

I'm going to call Dell about it.

Thanks for the link.

There has to be a way to get rid of it, and Flash must have instructions for people with technical problems now that they've advised everyone to uninstall it due to it being a potential security risk.

Have you tried Windows Update? That may automatically remove it just by updating your operating system. They probably issued an update just to assist people with getting rid of it.

Thanks. Dell figured it out for me. Yay!
