Some Internet Explorer 11 users have stated that IE doesn’t recognize Adobe Flash Player even though they have installed the latest Flash version and enabled it in the browser. Consequently, website pages open in Explorer display blank boxes instead of Flash videos. That usually happens if Flash is not configured correctly, ActiveX filtering is on, or if the flash.ocx file is corrupted. These are a few resolutions for Internet Explorer 11’s Flash player not working in Windows 10.

Why does Flash Player not work anymore?

If Adobe Flash Player is not working on your browser before the End of Life date, it can be due to some settings. For example, if you have ActiveX filtering enabled on Internet Explorer, it might cause Flash Player not to work. Also, the websites you want to play content from might not be in compatibility view. Lastly, it might just be a general issue with your browser.

How do I get my Adobe Flash Player back?

One, or more, of the above resolutions, will probably fix Flash Player in your Internet Explorer browser.

Quick Tip:

The only web browser left to support flash content is Opera, so go ahead and download it if you still want to try out flash content. If you cannot open Adobe Flash Player, you should try Opera. Enabling Adobe Flash Player in the Opera browser is pretty simple. You need to type the following line in the address field: opera://settings/content/flash?search=flash. As such, switching ActiveX Filtering off, if it’s on, will probably ensure that IE recognizes Flash again and displays its video content on web pages. However, you can still download the BlueMaxima Flashpoint software. This software was designed to preserve web games and will give you an optimal experience. Aside from those fixes, make sure that your IE browser has had all the latest updates, which you can do by clicking Check for Windows updates now on the Microsoft support page. In addition, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling Flash.
