Windows 10: Flash Player entry after Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809

Work around:


OS: Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit

Working with aplications that makes reference to the Flash Player ActiveX that was merged on iExplorer deployment.


Explanation:


After the "Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809" installation, I've found strange entries in system's registry at:


\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayer -> (CurrentVersion)

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX -> (Version)

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Macromedia\FlashPlayer -> (CurrentVersion)

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Macromedia\FlashPlayerActiveX -> (Version)


"Version" and "CurrentVersion" contains the following value, instead of Flash Player current version:


$(build.FlashMajorVersion),$(build.FlashMinorVersion),$(build.FlashBuildVersion),$(build.FlashPrivateVersion)


These entries should be replaced with the full version of the Flash Player ActiveX deployed with Windows 10 Update.

WMP for version 1809...


My Windows 10 N, version 1803 had used Windows Media Player via installing it from the "Windows_MediaFeaturePack_x64_1803.msu" file.

Updating to 1809 removed the WMP and no longer available in the apps list:





There's an updated version listed at:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...ows-n-editions

But clicking on the link and looking for the 1809 in the drop down list of versions does not show the media feature pack available for download for 1809; instead it shows version 1709 and 1803.

Does anyone have a direct link to WMP for Windows 10 N, version 1809?

TIA...
