Windows 10: Will these updates uninstall Adobe Software from my Windows 10 Computer System?

2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems KB5022282Feature Update to Windows 10 22H2I have read that the first one uninstalls some Adobe software.They have provided me with some backups on their website, but I am concerned about software disappearing due to some articles that I have read. I also have received one-time licenses that are only really valid until there are some new conflicts. I am worried that various software that I have been provided will disappear again.The Windows 10 version of 22H2 says it will have service or something like that longer

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
