Question from Tammy C.: About 4 or 5 days ago I tried to update my Flash Player from the Adobe website. It started downloading, but it never finished.

I finally gave up and figured I’d try again the next day. I’ve tried installing it every day since then but it always hangs in the middle of the download.
Can you tell me what I need to do to get the Flash Player updated on my computer? It’s running Windows 7 Home Edition.
Rick’s answer:Tammy, Adobe’s software is notorious for problems like this, and Flash Player is probably the most irritating application of the bunch. But the steps listed below will most likely do the trick:
1 – Click Start>Control Panel>Uninstall a program and uninstall the existing Adobe Flash Player from your system.

2 – Visit this page and install Flash Player from scratch.
That should take care of your Flash Player “update” Tammy. If not, let me know and I’ll tell you what to try next.
Update from Tammy: You make these things seem so easy Rick! Thanks a lot because your solution worked!!!

Adobe will end support of Flash Player on December 31, 2020. Here's what you can expect in the meantime for each Microsoft browser:
In the next version of Microsoft Edge (built on Chromium), Flash will be disabled by default. However, users may re-enable it on a site-by-site basis. The timeline for Chromium-based browsers can be found here.
Flash will not be disabled by default from Microsoft Edge (built on EdgeHTML) or Internet Explorer 11 prior to its removal by December of 2020.
Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020, via Windows Update. Group policies are available for enterprise admins and IT pros to change the Flash behavior prior to that date.
Companies reliant on Flash for development and playback of content are encouraged to remove the dependency on Adobe Flash prior to December 2020.
