I still have a hand full of Flash games I play, via manul install. Though it is turned off and I explicitly have to turn it on using Chrome.
Alas, slip gently into the night you silent giant.

There are still 2 Flash Player security updates in Programs & Features > View installed updates
1 is from October, the other is from August.
The update from October uninstalled no problem, but the update from August will not budge.
I tried removing them before I removed Flash Player, but the update from August, like I said, won`t uninstall.
And this is from the 860 Pro which I have not removed Flash Player from yet.
I have already removed Flash Player from the tester 850 Pro, but the results are the same on both SSD`s, the update will not uninstall.
It`s no big deal, just wondering why it won`t uninstall from either SSD.Last edited by AddRAM; 31 Dec 2020 at 07:50. Reason: I listed the wrong month for the problem update.

Please check this link out, it works fine. It’s kind of monotonous changing the same thing in a bunch of similar files but it work.

Not sure if that would work, the Flash Player security update does not have a KB#,,, But then neither did the security update I was able to uninstall normally.
I`ll have to read the article another 10 times
This is the update that won`t uninstall.

If I were evaluating this for an enterprise environment, it would be useful to "tinker" with this. For a personal use machine, I think I'll wait until the formal Windows Update release. I see no compelling reason to potentially damage a working installation for something that my system is not even using anyway...

I've also been removing AFP but had to edit a Web page to remove a script that pulled up a clock from World Time Server to display that required the use of AFP, now looking for something else that works similar, not just putting a link on the page but displaying a clock that shows the time the viewers' computer is set for.

That 'unremovable' entry may be left in place to assure protection even after AFP is uninstalled. Don't see it as a problem on my computers.
