Microsoft has confirmed that the next Windows 10 update will automatically delete Flash Player, which means that Flash Player will become history. At the same time, Adobe has also released a new pop-up reminder that users who are reminded can delete the software permanently.
In fact, Microsoft has already started to act. In September of this year, Microsoft confirmed that it is developing a new automatic Windows update, which includes the option to delete Flash Player from the control panel and other areas. For this reason, Microsoft also released a special update called “Remove Adobe Flash Player Update”. Choose update.
Currently, Microsoft and Adobe are planning to permanently delete Flash Player together in 2021. Adobe said that for security reasons, even if the company does not manually delete the Flash Player, it will stop working on the player in January next year.
However, it should be noted that the aforementioned pop-up window will not be pushed to all devices. Adobe is likely to carry out a large-scale promotion on Windows Update in the next three weeks.
Microsoft and Adobe also stated that the permanent deletion of Flash Player will not affect the user’s use of the browser. Flash will still be a built-in component of the user’s browser until the next major update.
