Has anyone heard anything about this?

 

I'll be pretty glad when Flash is finally gone from the Control Panel in Windows 8.1, and no longer a component in Windows.

Yea, maybe I'm not alone in this, but haven't they been saying for years that it would go away?

 

Adobe and Microsoft do actually/really seem serious this time; but fall technically ended last week and I don't see an option to remove it as a component, lol.

Flash is dying this year so it is not a big surprise.

Nice, let's see if so much less "swisscheeseification" of Windows results in better performance somewhere!

Finally no more "an error has occurred" when trying to run OOKLA Speedtest on my phone? 

 

I believe it when I see it, I'm sure they'll find something else that's at least as trashy...

Lol, we'll see. Considering how long it's been since it was announced, and how I haven't seen anything on the web in flash (superficially/anecdotally) in years, I have doubts too.

There is a patch from Microsoft that will totally remove FLASH from Windows 10

I know this is kind of an old thread, but it directly connects to my current dilemma.

Running Win 10 Pro 20H2

I have run the Adobe Flash Uninstaller at least 10 times.

I have run the Microsoft Flash Removal update.

Every time I reboot, Flash reinstalls, and then immediately begins pestering me to update. Even though there is no update.

Is there a simple way to block Flash Player from reinstalling?

Or at the very least, find out what app is installing it?

Does Steam install Flash? Or Epic Launcher? Afterburner? Fuze Drive? Logitech Profiler?

Help!
