    Can't remove Flash


    After reading about Microsoft ending Flash support, I thought I'd remove it completely from my Windows 10 Pro x64 (if it's there at all).

    I downloaded the Adobe Flash uninstaller, ran it, restarted the pc, opened Internet Explorer (I don't use IE, but that's probably where Flash might be lurking) and went to

    Is Flash installed? - WhatIsMyBrowser.com

    and got the message 'Flash 32.0.0 is installed in this browser'.

    Repeat >> same.

    BTW, as expected, Edge said 'no Flash installed', but I was wondering what's going on with IE.

    :)

    I suggest you backup your personalized files first before removing the account.
    To delete an account, follow these steps:
    1. Press WIN + X keys and click Command Prompt (Admin) from the menu.
    2. Type the following command and press Enter. Replace test with the name of your sister's account. Code:

    How To Format A Write Protected Flash Memory ?

    ¿You already tried this one?...

    Run CMD


    1. diskpart
    2. list disk

    Then in the 3º step, put the correct number of disk in the list for the usb flash (if it's listed in disk 3, then you'll have to write select disk 3).

    2. select disk #
    3. clean
    4. create partition primary
    5. select partition 1
    6. active
    7. format fs=fat32
    8. assign
    9. exit

    with that commands you will format the flash drive in fat32, if you have a large drive you can select also "format fs=ntfs" in step 7.

    good luck!

  4. Can't remove Flash

    Choice of memory and motherboard... a bit stuck...

    No one who got some suggestions on this one, huh?

    I've found out that the Asus M3A78-T needs to be flashed, so then that motherboard is excluded from my list. Which motherboard and memory should I then go for? Any suggestions?
