I had discussed this in the blog post Microsoft: Flash Player will be removable in autumn, support will end in 2021. The "Update to remove Adobe Flash Player" will also be included as part of the "Cumulative Update" and "Monthly Rollup" from this point on.

This will be done via the latest "Cumulative Update" on Windows 10 platforms and via "Cumulative Update for Internet Explorer 11" or "Monthly Rollup" on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and Windows Embedded 8 Standard. In summer 2021, all APIs, Group Policy, and user interfaces that specifically govern the behavior of Adobe Flash Player will be removed from Microsoft Edge (legacy) and Internet Explorer 11.


Microsoft wants to support the Flash Player until the end (see Microsoft: Flash Player will be removable in autumn, support will end in 2021), but has started some time ago with steps to restrict and remove the Flash Player.

But Microsoft provides security updates for the Flash players in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. As a user, there is no way to uninstall the Adobe Flash Player to get rid of this security risk. The Flash Player can thus be used in Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer browsers.

Microsoft has integrated the Adobe Flash Player in both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Then there will be no more security updates for Flash and the Adobe Flash Player will no longer be available for download. The end of support for the Adobe Flash Player has been announced for the end of 2020 (see my blog post Adobe Flash: End-of-Live date again announced). Already in the summer of 2017, Adobe, together with Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla, announced the end of life for Flash and the end of Adobe Flash support. Most blog readers should be familiar with the facts.
