Just got it also. Updated to 24.0.0.221
Just received the flash update now, on three home computers. Did not receive a notice to reboot, but decided to reboot anyway.

I got it today and it did require a restart. Guess MS decided it was critical to push it through early
Interesting why some PCs require a restart and some don't after flash patches. Wonder why that is. I just updated both our machines and neither required a restart but that's not always been the case. Anyway glad they released these and they have installed without any drama
Does anyone notice a speed boost online (with edge) after these flash player updates are applied? My browsing speed always increases after these. Edge had become very sluggish before the security update....
