Windows 10 update removes Flash, prevents reinstallation

Things like this are the reason I don't have Windows 10. Sure flash is probably not very useful in general but I do not think that I want someone taking away my options.

So microsoft is again trying to control us. I didn't even want 10 but it installed itself when I went out for a hour and I was pissed. I don't use linux or other os because I'm not very good with these kinda things. It just gets more infuriating that these kind of companies keep making more needlessly complicated crap.

I pirated Windows not iOS. I want freedom for my PC

Flash has been dead for years and is something that most browsers will block automatically. But expect to find issues where you least expect to. Had to reinstall an application (think it was a Cisco product) on my work computer last week and it made me update flash and open up the old IE.

Good. It's just a big stupid dangerous thing tacked into browsers; the most common vector for cyber attacks, and functions like a gigantic dog-flap on your back door. Sure you might need it because you want a doberman and you got a high fence, but it doesn't do much good when a burglar who is good with animals uses it to let himself in. Next step; take internet explorer round the back of the shed and put a bullet through its tired old eyes.

At least it's not an automatic update there's still a few sites I use that require flash to work

Well, I have been trying to do that for years

This is why I use Linux for everything except gaming and pro audio recording.

It’s a conspiracy! They must be removing flash for some reason! /notserious

Bell Canada isn't going to like this.

RIP 2002

I removed flash completely. Was good a decade ago. Now its ancient tech.

So glad I’m using Mac OSX!

The death of flash no more newsgrounds flash games boo 👎

Bill Gates was pushing it at the beginning of this year. Now I cant even hop on Coolmathgames.com?! Bill Gates is the devil!
