Microsoft will end Adobe Flash support for Windows 10 in July
Adobe Flash is reaching the very end of its life. The final nail in its coffin comes from Microsoft. Even after Adobe officially ended support for Flash on the very last day of 2020, Flash remains a component of Windows 10, that is until Microsoft releases the 21H1 update for Windows 10. Rollout for this update begins this month and it will remove the Flash component from the operating system.
The Verge cited this change by an update posted to the
Windows Blog. Titled the “Update on Adobe Flash Player End of support”, it outlines that a component called ‘Update for the removal of Adobe Flash Player’ will be included in Windows 10 cumulative update version 1507 starting in July. Machines on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard will also receive this component via its Monthly Rollup and Security Only Update.
