The Flash has been dead and buried since the end of last year. It was on December 31 that Adobe marked the end of this technology and the support that existed. From that day on, Flash will have stopped working and it's just history.
Present in Windows 10 from the beginning, Microsoft has the task of removing it and thus continuing its end. If this process seemed to be underway for some time, it is only now that Flash will finally be removed from Windows 10 instead.
The end of Flash in Windows 10
With the presentation of the data by Adobe, Microsoft was also quick to reveal its plans for the end of Flash. He planned to launch an update in early January and thus address this problem for its users.
This new version came to be tried on Windows 10, in October 2020, paving the way for what would be done at the beginning of the year. Still, and with all these certainties and decisions, that turned out not to be the direction Microsoft took.
Microsoft now takes the final step
Only now, and in conjunction with the February cumulative updates, is this step taken. KB4577586 started to arrive and handles the entire process automatically for the user. This is a mandatory and automatic update.
Interestingly, and as users have revealed, KB4577586 is then present in the update history with a very suggestive name. Unlike other updates, it cannot be removed from Windows 10 and therefore has Flashback.
Update KB4577586 takes care of everything alone
Microsoft has only one recommendation for users who need to get Flashback. You should recover to an older backup of your system. Windows 10 can also be reinstalled, preventing after this update is applied.
It is important to note that this update KB4577586 only removes the Flash that Microsoft installed on Windows 10. Any and all additional versions will have to be removed manually by the user, in order to keep their operating system effectively protected.
