This patch will portray a final farewell to Adobe Flash Player for all versions of the operating system and it will be pushed via Windows Update to more users over the course of the next few weeks.


It seems that Microsoft is pushing Windows 10 KB4577586 as an automatic update with the February 2021 Patch Tuesday updates.

After their official statement in September 2020, where they confirmed they were ending support for Adobe Flash Player on its Chromium-based Edge, legacy Edge browsers, and Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft has begun removing the software from Windows devices.Īlthough initially intended to be optional, as stated in a support note from last October, this week several Windows 10 users reported that Microsoft is forcefully installing KB4577586 on their devices, permanently removing Flash support from the OS.
