This is not unexpected, considering that Adobe Flash Player has been out of support since December 31, 2020, and users were expecting it to be completely removed. The KB4577586 Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player that is expected to be available starting this month will be included in the Latest Cumulative Update for Windows 10, versions 1607, and Windows 10, version 1507.

Adobe Flash Player removed

Microsoft mentioned: that this update will not be available only for Windows 10, but also for older operating systems, such as Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Embedded 8 Standard: With the recent updates, Microsoft already removed Flash support from Microsoft Edge browser and now it’s doing the same thing with the Flash Player that comes with Windows 10. Microsoft has also stated that the manually installed Adobe Flash Player can remain on the device and it will not be removed automatically. Users can also remove Adobe Flash player at any moment, Microsoft states, by manually downloading and installing the KB4577586 update that is available in their Catalog. Don’t hesitate to leave us a comment regarding this change, we would love to hear your thoughts on the subject.
