Our brave reader, Anthony, did not report if the dialog responded to a jab with a digit and, to be honest, we can t blame him. Even before the events of 2020, the thought of fondling a public screen and then, without a thorough scrub in between, using the same hands to hold and eat some deep-fried delight would have left us distinctly nauseous.
That said, today s bork is a reminder of less fraught days. If we re not too much mistaken, that s the Windows Aero design language of Windows 7 on display. Support for the operating system was axed in 2020 before the world hit the pause button, although Windows Embedded POSReady 7 will linger on well into the second half of 2021 before payment for Extended Security Updates is required.
Microsoft will end Adobe Flash support for Windows 10 in July
Adobe Flash is reaching the very end of its life. The final nail in its coffin comes from Microsoft. Even after Adobe officially ended support for Flash on the very last day of 2020, Flash remains a component of Windows 10, that is until Microsoft releases the 21H1 update for Windows 10. Rollout for this update begins this month and it will remove the Flash component from the operating system.
The Verge cited this change by an update posted to the
Windows Blog. Titled the “Update on Adobe Flash Player End of support”, it outlines that a component called ‘Update for the removal of Adobe Flash Player’ will be included in Windows 10 cumulative update version 1507 starting in July. Machines on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard will also receive this component via its Monthly Rollup and Security Only Update.

According to a report by GSM Arena on Wednesday, May 5, the removal of the 25-year-old popular plug-in will be mandatory two months from now. When the Windows 10 version 21H1 receives an upgrade at that time, the software that we have used previously will now become a part of our memory.
Microsoft has announced that it will remove Adobe Flash Player from all versions of Windows 10 through the KB4577586 “Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player” in June. The update will be included in the Monthly Rollup and the Security Only Update for Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard in July.
