    Browser windows flashing black


    Hi, I have a brand new PC with W10 installed and my browser windows flash completely black both Edge and Chrome.


    It happens very consistently, but not only, at this site, and I don't have this issue on another W10 PC. It suffices to go to the next or previous message on this board.

    Details:


    If I have both Edge and Chrome open at the same time, only the browser window I'm active in flashes black.

    If I have 2 Edge windows open at the same time, the window I'm active in flashes black and the other window also flashes.


    Only the browser windows flash, the rest of the screen stays normal.


    Motherboard: ASRock A300

    Processor: AMD Ryzen 3 3200G

    Adobe flash will not play Xfinity stream on Win10pro

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I understand that you are facing an issue with Xfinity stream due to Adobe Flash player. We will look into this for you. However, in order to get clarity and to assist you with appropriate steps, please reply with the answers to
    the questions below.

    1. Which browser are you facing this issue with, apart from Firefox?
    2. Have you checked if the Flash player is enabled on your browser?
    3. Was there any major change or an update on your system, prior to which you weren’t facing this issue?

    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it is helpful to you.

    Steps to unblock Adobe Flash Player:

    1. Login to Xfinity streaming on your browser.
    2. If there is a lock sign on the left or right end of the URL/address bar, click on it.
    3. Scroll down to find Adobe Flash Player and click on Unblock.
    4. You should be able to stream once the Flash Player is Unblocked.

    I would also suggest you to refer the article on
    Flash Player Help
    by Adobe and check if it is helpful to you.

    Kindly follow the suggestions and get back to us with the results.

    We await your response.

    Installing Flash opens Chrome instead of default browser

    I use IE, Edge and Firefox, with IE as default browser. Edge/IE of course get Flash through Windows Update but periodically I have to install Flash for Firefox. I can confirm that the expected behaviour of the Flash installer is, on completion, to open your default browser at a page saying...
    This is just an advert, not a necessary step in the install, but it is labelled as 'Step 3 of 3'. Steps 1 and 2 were seen in Firefox, the browser I started the install from, as the first two steps in installing/updating Flash. The install requires the browser to be restarted to be complete, so it opens the 'Step 3' page itself in the default browser. It has always amused me that it opens IE and not the Firefox I was installing it for.

    I don't have Chrome, so can't test the behaviour described, but I have never seen anything other than my default browser open. I've just tested reinstalling Flash in Firefox, only IE opened on completion.
