Flash videos not working with Edge browser

I finally managed to fix the problem. Although I could never manage to pinpoint the source of the issue, I rectified it by just doing an update repair. Basically, it just reinstall Windows 10, without removing any of my files or programs.

It's a nifty feature, and I don't know why I never thought of it before.

Glad to be running Edge as my primary browser again though. As barebones as it is, it's still very much superior to Chrome in terms of performance; especially in scrolling smoothness and launch speed...

Also, Chrome was giving me problems with shockwave crashing.

Congrats.
You solved it by yourself.

Why is that setting off by default?
Why can't edge play the videos unless you select that setting to "on"?

I am not sure is off by default! My default setting is On, this may have to do with what you use prior to upgrade. Will need to construct two test cases, one using Adobe Flash in IE 11 and one not using Adobe Flash in IE 11. But going through the whole upgrade again is not worth the time and effort. Will monitor this next time I perform another upgrade!
