AskWoody PlusWoody,
The link you provided to, Check your Flash version, https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html is actually a help page that shows how to, “Install Flash Player in five easy steps” along with a link you can click to, “Check if Flash Player is installed on your computer”. In my case the link shows that I have version 24.0.0, but it doesn’t show if its version, 24.0.0.168, or version 24.0.0.194
The About Adobe Flash page found at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ might be more useful. When the page opens, it automatically indicates which version of flash player is installed which in my case is version 24.0.0.194. Below the version box there’s a table that indicates the most recent version for each platform and each browser.
If the flash player does need to be updated, there is a “Player Download Center” link just above the table that will take you directly to the update page for the platform and browser that you are using to view the article. To check for flash player updates for other platforms and browsers just open, https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ from that browser, and use the same “Player Download Center” link to update it.

GuestFyi, the free Avast antivirus program(for home users) has an optional Software Updater scanner/tool(installed by default) which can update the Adobe Flash Player for both the Firefox n IE browsers, besides updating other programs, eg 7-Zip, Java Runtime, VLC, etc.

AskWoody_MVP19 old updates for Flash Player for Windows 2012 R2 have been expired by Microsoft as today 2nd February 2017. I don’t have confirmation for Windows 8.1 or other versions, but I think this applies at least to Windows 8.1.
This is part of the maintenance effort to avoid the slowing down of the scans for Windows Update.
There is more to be done in the Windows 8.1/2012 R2 space as based on my experience, Windows Update for both OS is slow, similar to what was experienced with Windows 7 in the recent past. This is more true for new installations or those who are far behind in keeping up with all updates. There are ways around the issue, but I think the reason that the issue is not so visible is that Windows 8.1 is a lot less in use than Windows 7.
The server OS is normally maintained differently and is less within the scope of the current discussion.EDIT:
It appears that there have been a large number of IE CUs for Windows 8.1 which have been expired today, while the same Flash Player older updates which are now expired for Windows 2012 R2, were expired a week ago for Windows 8.1, at the same time with the CU updates expired for 2012 R2.
As I said in the original post, this is normal ongoing maintenance which has not been happening very much in the past few years, generating slow WU scanning. -

February 5, 2017 at 1:29 pm #90816

AskWoody_MVPNot quite manual. Go inside the Chrome URL Bar and type “chrome://components”. This takes you to the internal Chrome Components Updates page. Scroll down to Flash Player, and hit its Update button. If there’s an available update, this will update just the Flash Player, not the browser itself.
Chrome went over to Component Updating around Chrome 50.While these updates should fire off automatically, sometimes they fail to do so. Also, the Main Branch (Chromexxx.m) gets the updates later than the Dev (Canary) Branch or the Beta Branch. I run Chrome Beta for this reason.
For Edge and IE, use the wushowhide trick to block any unwanted MS Updates, and just run MS Updates for Flash Player and if available, Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. Save the CU’s for the end of the month.

Thanks, anon. I think the major difference is that the web based Settings Manager allows you to set storage limits for sites that you have not yet visited, whereas with the plugin’s Settings Manager you can set storage limits for sites that you have visited.

Try that link. That page lists a checkbox to allow third party sites to store content and one to allow storage of common Flash components. They were checked by default for me and I don’t see a corresponding way to check/uncheck those settings outside of that specific online settings manager page.

ManagerFrom Michael Horowitz on computerworld.com:
Flash Player Updated just 3 days after an update
Jun 18, 2017The latest version is now 26.0.0.131, except, of course, with Microsoft’s browsers.
The version used by the Edge browser was not updated and it remains at 26.0.0.120. The situation with Internet Explorer is so poorly explained, I can’t even guess.
According to Adobe, “Internet Explorer – ActiveX” should be using the new version 26.0.0.131 while “Internet Explorer (embedded – Windows 8.1) – ActiveX” should be using the older version 26.0.0.120. Someone at Adobe likes puzzles.
Chrome on Windows should be using the latest version, but I have found that the browser frequently reports itself as being up to date, even when the Flash Player is not. To force Chrome to update Flash, see my blog from February: How to immediately update Flash in Chrome.

ManagerHopefully they will update Flash for IE and the Cumulative update for IE11 in the near future. I think it is the IE11 Cumulative Update portion of the June Monthly Rollup that is causing the printing problems. I’ve read that even those who did security-only + IE11 Update are experiencing same problem.

Patched Flash Player Sandbox Escape Leaked Windows Credentials
by Michael Mimoso | August 10, 2017
One of the patches included in Tuesday’s Adobe Flash Player update was a do-over after the researcher who privately reported the problem earlier this year discovered the original patch incompletely resolved the issue.Dutch researcher Bjorn Ruytenberg disclosed details after Adobe updated the soon-to-be deprecated Flash Player on Tuesday to version 26. Flash Player 23, released close to a year ago, closed off a local sandbox escape, but Ruytenberg found the update failed to address the vulnerability locally if networking was enabled, or remotely.

AskWoody LoungerYou can get it for gecko based browsers and Chrome based browsers direct from Macromedia ftp download. The links for each type of Flash Player are buried in an old Adobe help page that says it is for Windows 7. However, the page is kept fully up to date for the downloads. I have bookmarked the ftp download links in my default browser and I fetch Flash Player quickly this way. I have been doing it this way for years on both Windows 8.0 Pro and Windows 10 Pro 1709.
The first link is for gecko based browsers and the second for Chromium based:
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player.exe
https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_ppapi.exe
(I’m not sure if ftp download links are allowed so, if not, this is the Adobe Flash Player help page where they are located UNDER “Still Having Problems”.
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html
For IE and Edge, I get that from Microsoft update catalog (and make sure I have the current servicing stack update first).

AskWoody PlusThanks.
I have always found the direct installers work far more reliably that the webinstallers, plus they do not have the pre-checked additional software sections. It is JUST the Adobe Flash update. The webinstallers sometimes left older versions of files in the Macromedia directories.
Another quick link I use for software updates notices is at http://www.tweakguides.com..

AskWoody PlusThanks, Kirsty & Woody for this. A quick way to access needed links… I’m currently up-to-date on Firefox, though I’ll need to update Windows & IE 11 in November. No biggie!
2 Machines for Now!
#1: Windows 8.1, 64-bit, back in Group A.
#2: Getting close to buying a refurbished Windows 10 64-bit, recently updated to v1909. Have broke the AC adapter cord going to the 8.1 machine, but before that, coaxed it into charging. Need to buy new adapter if wish to continue using it.
