“As of July 2021, the KB4577586 “Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player” will be included in the Latest Cumulative Update for Windows 10, versions 1607 and Windows 10, version 1507. It will also be included in every subsequent Latest Cumulative Update,” Microsoft said.

“Starting in June 2021, the KB4577586 “Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player” will be included in the Preview Update for Windows 10, version 1809 and above platforms. The company’s plans were highlighted in a blog post last month: That means Flash Player will be removed across the Windows platform.

Coming to Windows 10īy rolling out KB4577586 as a security patch, Microsoft will ensure it comes to older versions of Windows. Legacy Edge and other browser halted support way back in 2017. Microsoft stopped supporting Flash in its Chromium Edge browser in 2019. Adobe has not been supporting the service since December 31, 2020. It’s worth noting Flash Player is now an unsupported tool, so Microsoft’s already late to the party for eliminating it. It now seems Microsoft is ready to roll out that update more broadly and make it part of essential security patches. That update was KB4577586 and is aptly called “Update for Removal for Adobe Flash Player”. You may have already done that because Microsoft has allowed the removal of Flash Player through an optional update since last October. What’s important here is Microsoft will be forcing Windows 10 users to ditch Flash. Perhaps the biggest change we can expect this month is the company finally removing Adobe Flash Player from Windows 10.Īccording to Windows Latest, the company will use the June and July Patch Tuesday’s to permanently eliminate Adobe Flash Player.

However, the updates arrive too soon to make a major changes arriving in the coming months. Microsoft is preparing its May 2021 Patch Tuesday cumulative update rollout for next week.
