    Chrome missing Flash Player setings, unable to run Flash without authorizing


    The November update changed several settings on my computer and it did something to either Flash or Chrome. I now have to authorize Flash to run for every site. When I go to the Flash settings in Chrome, it is missing the option to automatically run Flash. All I have is a sliding on/off switch that switches between Ask user, and Block all sites. There used to be a check box to allow Flash to run automatically. The option to Manage Exclusions is also missing. Before the update, I used to get the option to Always authorize Flash for this site, but that is gone too.


    I uninstalled three Flash Player security updates but that did nothing. is this a bug or is it Microsoft imposing its will on the user (treating us like ignorant children who have to be looked after by the all wise and benevolent Microsoft)?


    Whatever the reason, how do I change the settings so Flash will run automatically?

    :)

    Flash Player issues

    Hi,

    If there are no errors when playing videos on different website using Edge or Internet Explorer, it means the issue is on the specific browser. With Google Chrome, kindly follow these steps to allow websites to run Flash Player:

    • Type chrome://settings/content on the address bar.
    • On the Content settings select Allow sites to run Flash then
      Done.
    • To manage Flash Player settings using the website, click Manage exceptions.
    • On the Flash exceptions screen, enter the website address and then choose
      Allow, then Done.
    • Close the Content setting screen.

    Let us know if you need further help.

    Flash Player

    Hi,

    One possible cause why your Flash Player was not working is due to a software conflict. To isolate your issue, we'd to know if you've tried accessing the involved sites using another browser. Does the issue still persist?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow these steps to download Flash Player and make sure Flash Player settings is turned on:

    • If you see a Blocked Adobe Flash content puzzle piece near the Favorites button, click it, then either
      Allow once or Always allow to allow Flash on the page.
    • If you don't see a Blocked Adobe Flash content puzzle piece but you do not see a note to download flash on the page, click the download link and Edge should enable the puzzle piece so you can follow step 1.

    Let us know if you need further assistance

    I can't find Adobe Flash Player

    Hi Manal,

    I realize that you are unable to find Adobe Flash player in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge. I will try to help you with this issue.

    To check if Adobe software package is installed on the PC, follow these steps:


    • Press Windows key + X and click on Programs and Features.

    • You will get the list of all installed programs on the PC.

    Suggest you to refer to these articles to check if that helps.

    Flash Player is integrated with Microsoft Edge in Windows 10. You do not need to install Flash Player.
