    How to permenantly remove Adobe Flash Player ?


    Well if you uninstalled via Control Panel add/ reove programs it probably didn't work.

    I've just run the dedicated removal tool from Adobe (run as administrator) and it didn't fully uninstall flash player. See the following:

    These registry changes straight away after runnng dedicated uninstaller.

    These leftovers after a reboot.

    Ran this script. Note there is no SysWOW64 directory on my 32bit machine but I left the entries for anyone running 64bit.

    Another reboot is required to force delete leftovers.

    After the reboot it's gone including the updater and update service.

    So the moral of the story is that it's not guranteed to be removed unless you check for leftovers.

    The Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) is not "built into Windows 10".

    "Microsoft generally delivers MSRT with Windows Update the second Tuesday of the month. The standalone version available on this* page is delivered at the same time.
    "
