RIP: Microsoft To Fully Remove Adobe Flash From Windows 10 In July May 6, 2021 Microsoft in an update to its blog post announced that it will be completely removing Adobe Flash Player as a component of Windows 10 starting in July. For those unaware, back in July 2017, Microsoft, along with Adobe and their industry technology partners, had announced that Adobe Flash Player will no longer be supported after December 31, 2020. The decision to end support for Flash Player was made by Adobe due to the diminished usage of the technology and the availability of better, more secure options such as HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssembly.
