Adobe s Flash Player reached the end of its life as 2020 came to a close, but the software continues to linger on Windows machines around the world. However, Microsoft has a plan, and intends to rid Windows 10 of Flash forever no later than July.
You may remember Microsoft attempted to remove the Flash Player from Windows 10 back in October last year, but ultimately failed to do so. The Windows update released to carry out the removal didn t check to see if Flash had been installed using Adobe s standalone installer, meaning if you have ever installed Flash Player manually, it remains on your system. Now in an update to a Windows Blog post, Microsoft program manager Suchithra Gopinath has detailed a new plan.
