I'm not sure how to provide step by step instructions about how to produce it. I disabled the power saving feature but so far haven't seen any difference. I will experiment with taking those off, but if I do I get inundated with pop-up ads so I'm replacing one hassle with another. Interesting about the ad-blocking plugins. The PPAPI Flash player (the only one shown) is enabled and "Always allowed to run" is checked. That seems to have solved that immediate problem although the problem of the internal bundled flash crashing repeatedly still exists.
I don't use Internet Explorer, but I did uninstall my Chrome and reinstall to fix the fact that I manually removed stuff. If the problem goes away, please file a Chromium bug, or reply here with step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce it, so I can report it to Google on your behalf.
You can confirm by disabling the following flag:Ĭhrome://flags/#enable-plugin-power-saver If you have any ad-blocking or anti-tracking plugins installed, this may prevent JavaScript on the page from instantiating Flash content, which can cause the "flash not detected" symptoms you're describing.įinally, Chrome recently launched a plug-in power saving feature that might not be behaving well on a particular site for you. You might also want to check "Always allowed to run". In Chrome, if you look under about:plugins, expand details, then find Adobe Flash Player, you should see the built-in PPAPI Flash Player as enabled.
The Control Panel is *not* going to help for Chrome, as Chrome is encapsulated and doesn't read from the centralized config files that Flash Player controls anyway, nor does the Flash Player native control panel affect how Flash Player gets launched by the browser. This should get you back to a working state.
Immediately run Windows Update again and re-apply the update. Find the latest Internet Explorer update and remove it.
You can do this from Programs and Features > Installed Updates. If you *have* manually removed stuff from the machine, the best way to get back to a working state is to uninstall the last Internet Explorer update on your machine, then re-install it from Windows Update. I have Win10 installed at the moment so I can't give you precise directions, but if you launch the start menu and type "Flash Player", the control panel entry should show up on the search list unless you've followed some old instructions on the Internet about manually removing Flash Player (in which case, you've probably damaged the installation). The Flash Player control panel icon should be built into the OS by default.
On Windows 8.1, Flash Player is also a built-in component of Internet Explorer, so there's nothing to download and install there, either.
