Windows 10: Unable to uninstall Adobe Flash Active X from Windows 11

I have been looking all over for any clues. I tried the Adobe flash uninstaller but Active X still remains. I tried using the patch in Windows Catalog KB4577586 but it doesn't seem to work on my PC. I tried to delete the contents in the Active X folder but it says I do not have the administrator rights to do so. I'm running my PC as the administrator so what does that even mean?Is a patch not available for Windows 11 yet? Or am I missing something?

Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 34.0.0.105

Over on Techspot they have posted Adobe Flash Player Uninstaller 34.0.0.105

In the "how to use this software" section there was this (its the "Copy/Run" at the very bottom that I'm concerned about):

Download the uninstaller for Flash Player The Flash Player uninstaller executes on both 64-bit and 32-bit version of the Windows operating systems. Save the file in a location where you can find it easily after you restart your computer. For example, save it on your Windows desktop.

Exit all browsers and other programs that use Flash


The uninstaller does not work if any programs that use Flash are running on your computer.

• Look at the taskbar. If the taskbar contains program icons for a browser or for a game that uses Flash, right-click each icon and choose Close. This example shows a browser in the taskbar:
• Look at the icons in the system tray for programs that run in the background. Examples include AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, and games that use Flash (any file with a name that ends in .swf). If you see such an icon, right-click the icon and click Exit, as shown in this example:

Run the uninstaller

• Double-click the icon of the uninstaller that downloaded to your computer.
• Follow the prompts. If you see the message "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?," click Yes.
• Delete Flash Player files and folders.
  • Click Start > Run.
  • Copy and paste the following and click OK.
  • C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
  • Delete all the files in this folder.
  • Follow step 1 to step 3 for the following:
    • C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
    • %appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
    • %appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player

Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer 11

Hi. I use Internet Explorer 11 more than I use the Edge browser. I checked at Adobe to see if I had the latest Flash Player version at Adobe. It's showing that I have version 21.0.0.182 - Active X installed. I looked on the chart to see if that was correct.
It's showing that version 21.0.0.182 is the latest version for Edge browser and it's embedded.

For Internet Explorer - Active X, it shows that the latest version should be 21.0.0.197.

So my question is since Internet Explorer 11 is a completely different browser from Edge, why can't I upgrade version 21.0.0.197? I also found an article that said to check the add-ons to see if Flash was enabled. The article said to check for Shockwave
Flash and make sure it was enabled. I did and Shockwave Flash is enabled. But Shockwave Flash isn't the same as Adobe Flash Player. I do have the latest Adobe Shockwave version installed, and I'm able to update that whenever it's needed.

So, if this version I have ( 21.0.0.182 ) is embedded in the Edge Browser, how does this also work with Internet Explorer 11 since it's a different browser? You also can't take the latest update for Internet Explorer - Active X which is 21.0.0.197 because
you'll get a message that says Windows 10 already has Adobe Flash.

Thanks for any help or answers you can give me.
