I also tried the link:

in IE11 on my machine. No problem either. Have you tried to reset IE11 in internet options > advanced tab > reset

Microsoft's Flash broken by last week's WU (KB4040724)
Flash was been a PITA for me - I have an HP OEM PC and so had to go to them for my Flash driver updates. Then sometime ago Microsoft brought in a fix - their version of Flash which they update. The last update from them for me was on the 13th September:
2017-09 Security Update for Adobe Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4038806)
Flash was working fine until last week's strange*** WU:
2017-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4040724)
but it stopped working after that WU. I need Flash to view clips on the BBC (UK's equivalent of a Public Broadcasting Service) but this is what I see:
I see no obvious reason why this strange WU should have broken Flash but it has. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution eg should I go to HP? (I'd rather not download it from Adobe.)
*** I say 'strange' because although the KB4040724 WU arrived on the 4th October it is shown in my WU Update History as a September WU, as you can see.
PS Since the 4th October, I now have Win10 v1703 build 15063.632 and will change my signature soon.

Hello kado897. That's not it, unfortunately, and I'll explain why.
Here's what I had to do when going to HP to update Flash:
IE>Settings (via Gears icon)>Manage Add-ons>select 'All Add-ons' in SHOW>select Shockwave Flash Object>right-click to enable. Then install the HP Flash Update. When done, repeat all this but select Disable.
Rather a heavy-handed procedure for Flash, probably the least secure of all Apps. So when Microsoft, in response to criticism, took control it was great. If I now go to Manage All Add-ons, I see under "Microsoft Windows Third Party Application Component" the Shockwave Flash Object. It's enabled and hovering over it I see it's version 27.0.0.130, dated 2nd September, which is the one installed on my PC on the 13th September.
So, prior to the strange WU a few days ago, Flash was working but now it's not!

Would I get my Flash back using System Restore ?
A friend wonders whether I would get my Flash working again if I used System Restore to get back before this blasted WU was installed?
If I did that though, wouldn't I lose the WU - and then have it automatically installed again later?

On top of that, as far as I know, whenever a site is asking to download Flash in order for it to work in Edge, I never did. I only toggled the button for Flash in Advanced Settings to "On" as per Bree's screenshot. Thereafter, I only refreshed the page and that will do the trick.

Thanks for the tip. I would have never known, for like I said I never tried to download Adobe Flash when asked by a site. But the question remains: Why taffy078's one is not working?. Could it be malware? Maybe , he should try to run adwCleaner from:
Downloads - AdwCleaner - ToolsLib
and scan his PC, just to make sure.
