Flash player for Windows 10 components, wiped out in July

Microsoft releases an update in July that removes Adobe Flash as a component of Windows 10. Also, if you update to Windows 10 21H1, which is scheduled to be released this month, the flash will be deleted at this point.

As it is notified that the flash sweep operation is also performed on older operating systems such as Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard, users who have been required to perform flash tasks on the operating system may need to take precautions. Also, if you look at the support page, Adobe Flash Player is not removed as an application manually installed by the user.

This deletion removes the flash player, which is still pre-installed as a component of the operating system, but in the Microsoft Edge browser updated to the latest version after January 2021, the flash function has been removed. Major browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox, had such a release in 2016, and Adobe itself stopped supporting it from the end of 2020.

Flash support is ending in all environments, but the Internet Archive is also releasing a library that stores this legacy as an important part of the Internet, as software assets built with Flash in history include games and more. Related information can be found here.
