Adobe has long played a leadership role in advancing interactivity and creative content – from video, to games and more – on the web. Where we've seen a need to push content and interactivity forward, we've innovated to meet those needs. Where a format didn't exist, we invented one – such as with Flash and Shockwave. And over time, as the web evolved, these new formats were adopted by the community, in some cases formed the basis for open standards, and became an essential part of the web.
DC, 2020, and 2017 versions Adobe Acrobat Reader is set up for automatic updates by default. It does not provide any UI option in the preferences to control this setting. IT Administrators can control the update settings using the Adobe Customization Wizard or the Windows Registry.
Microsoft will only issue an updated Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer & Classic Edge (not Chromium Edge) if there is a new security vulnerability with Flash Player. You may have to wait months for that to happen since Flash Player is hardly used these days and Adobe & Microsoft plan to end support for Flash Player by the end of 2020. Updating, repairing, or re-installing your Adobe Reader/Acrobat is simple and can be accomplished by following a few simple steps. Note: This article discusses printing in Windows. For help printing in Mac OS X, see Troubleshoot printing issues in Safari. To install the latest Windows 10 updates, open the Start menu, type windows update, and then press Enter. Click Check for Updates and install any pending updates. Restart your computer afterward. Flash will be completely removed from all browsers by December 31, 2020, via Windows Update. Group policies are available for enterprise admins and IT pros to change the Flash behavior prior to that date.
But as open standards like HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly have matured over the past several years, most now provide many of the capabilities and functionalities that plugins pioneered and have become a viable alternative for content on the web. Over time, we've seen helper apps evolve to become plugins, and more recently, have seen many of these plugin capabilities get incorporated into open web standards. Today, most browser vendors are integrating capabilities once provided by plugins directly into browsers and deprecating plugins.
Given this progress, and in collaboration with several of our technology partners – including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla – Adobe is planning to end-of-life Flash. Specifically, we will stop updating and distributing the Flash Player at the end of 2020 and encourage content creators to migrate any existing Flash content to these new open formats.
Several industries and businesses have been built around Flash technology – including gaming, education and video – and we remain committed to supporting Flash through 2020, as customers and partners put their migration plans into place. Adobe will continue to support Flash on a number of major OS's and browsers that currently support Flash content through the planned EOL. This will include issuing regular security patches, maintaining OS and browser compatibility and adding features and capabilities as needed.
We remain fully committed to working with partners including Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla to maintain the security and compatibility of Flash content. In addition, we plan to move more aggressively to EOL Flash in certain geographies where unlicensed and outdated versions of Flash Player are being distributed.
Adobe will also remain at the forefront of leading the development of new web standards and actively participate in their advancement. This includes continuing to contribute to the HTML5 standard and participating in the WebAssembly Community Group. And we'll continue to provide best in class animation and video tools such as Adobe Animate, the premier web animation tool for developing HTML5 content, and Premiere Pro.

Looking ahead, Adobe will continue to provide the best tools and services for designers and developers to create amazing content for the web.
Last month, Microsoft released a timeline for the end of Adobe Flash. It said that the Flash removal tool would be an optional update in Windows Update by early 2021. Now, within a few weeks, Microsoft has released a new update that removes the Adobe Flash version bundled into Windows 10. However, it does not remove any standalone versions you've installed yourself. Plus, it doesn't remove Flash from your browsers, either.
The optional Catalog update paves the way for the eventual end of Flash in 2021. With the new Windows 10 update, Flash support will officially end this year. There will eb no more updates for Internet Explorer 11 and the legacy (non-Chromium) version of Edge by December. Further, the latest version of Edge that uses Google's Chrome engine, will have its Flash support end in January 2021.
While Google has said that it would end Flash support for Chrome, Adobe itself has announced that it will end Flash development in 2020. Microsoft says, 'We are releasing this removal update in advance of end of support to help customers test and validate their environments for any impact that might occur by the removal of Adobe Flash Player. Also, if another security update for Adobe Flash Player is released, customers who take this removal update will still be offered the security update.'
