Did you check if a policy was set as my post 2?

I now have the registry.Pol Reader. Don't know how to use it.

Download and install KB4577586 for your version of Windows 10.

I found the catalog,but don't see how to install. Windows update says I am up to date.

Right-click on the Start button --> Windows PowerShell (Admin).
Run the following command:

Get-ScheduledTask "*Adobe Flash Player*"

It will display all tasks whose names include Adobe Flash Player

Run the following command:

Get-ScheduledTask "*Adobe Flash Player*"|Unregister-ScheduledTask -Confirm:$false

It will delete all tasks whose names include Adobe Flash Player

I did all that and uninstalled Flash Payer again. Seemed to have worked --- until I booted up this AM. There it was again.

Press the Windows key + R and run the following command:

ms-settings:datausage

Click on "Data usage". See which item is related to Adobe Flash Player.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_32_0_293_pepper.exe

Also C:\Users\oldtr\Desktop\flash\uninstall_flash_player.exe

Run "uninstall_flash_player.exe" and delete "FlashUtil32_32_0_293_pepper.exe".

Did both #17 and #18 above.

Flash Player returned upon re-boot.

Do everything once again. Disconnect your PC from the Internet. Restart Windows.
See whether Adobe Flash Player comes back again.
