Installing update Flash Player on Windows 8.1

Dell Inspiron 660, Windows 8.1, Flash player pre-installed as noted in control panel at 14.0.0.145.  I would like to update to Flash player 14.0.0.176.  Is that possible and how would I do that?  The note that comes up at Adobe's website is that the flash player is pre-installed so I don't have to install it.  Well, yes, but it is dated, so I do.  You would think it would just do it automatically like Java, but no.

Microsoft released a new Flash Player on August 12; here is the Security Advisory:

    I can't tell from the screenshot, but it's possible you are running in the Metro version.  Could you try this page using Internet Explorer in desktop mode to see if that helps?

    In the menu that appears, select "view on the desktop"
    Once IE launches in the window, do you see your Flash content?

    Hi Blanca rey
    You Can try Uninstalling Flash Player using - Uninstall Flash Player | Mac OS
    and Use the Offline Flash Player Installer for Mac (Safari and Firefox) from here - Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac
    Hope it helps,
    While you try the above suggestion,  can you also share the Version of Mac on which you are updating Flash Player and how are you doing it?

  • Possible fixes to install/update Flash Player in IE 9

    OK just spent a couple of hours attempting to get IE 9 (32-bit) to install Flash 10.2.153.1. Tried all the troubleshooting advice - turned off security, etc.
    Problem: When clicked on download button, the download page would come up but nothing happened.
    Solution: Discovered setting in IE 9 called "Active X Filtering". It's located in the Tools Menu/Saftey section. If it has a check mark, un-check it and try Flash install again. This solved my problem - hope it helps others.
    FYI - I'm running Win7 64-bit OS. After also unchecking "ActiveX Filtering" in IE 9 (64-bit), the 64-bit Flash Player preview "Square" could also be downloaded and installed.
    If nothing else works try the MANUAL INSTALLER located at:
    Flash Player 10 ActiveX (Internet Explorer 32-bit) http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
    Flash Player 10 Plugin (All other Windows browsers, such as Firefox or Google Chrome) http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    Have a good day.

    Hi, Thanks for your input. Just to add a bit of info, when Win7 came out with the SP1, this was included with that also. Whether this is turned on by default I haven't heard.
    I agree on the Manual Uninstall/Install also. Now Google Chrome is embedded with Flash Player and updates on it's own.
    Glad you figured it all out:-)

  • Installing Updated Flash Player

    I have tried to install an updated version of flash player several times. When I come to step 2, it reads "blocked plug-in". How do I install this program?

    Right click the Plugin and select “Open Enclosing Folder” Trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt files.

    I hope this information will be of some help. Again, my goal is to uninstall and reinstall Adobe and Java. I would like to only have 1 version (if possible), making sure it's the most current one, while deleting/uninstalling any previous versions or unnecessary files/add-ons. Basically, just trying to get the computer cleaned up and make web browsing more efficient (recently have had some difficulties displaying web pages using these programs). I am familiar with the programs and processes as a whole, but I believe you have more intellect and experience in the detailed areas. Thank you in advance for your time, and let me know if you need any other info. Thanks! -B

    Hey eidnolb,
    Sorry about that. I misunderstood the post and then totally misread the thread instructions; my bad. Anyways, I followed the instructions and rebooted. In add/remove the only java listed is Java(TM) 6 Update 18, 97.15MB. I'm guessing that means installation went well. Here is what's listed as add-ons for Java/Sun Microsystems:

  • Cannot install Updated Flash Player

    I've tried several times without success to update my Adobe Flash Player software to version 11.7.700.169. Here's what happens: Whenever I need to use Flash Player, I am told my current version is "vulnerable" and automatically connected with the Adobe installation page. I click on "Download Now," and  a rectangle appears that says, "Preparing installation. Please wait," along with a progress bar. But once the progress bar stops and the rectangle goes away, no Opening dialog box appears. In fact, nothing appears. Does anyone know how I can get past this point or how I might update my Flash Player software another way? Thanks.
    I have a ThinkPad T61 laptop with Windows XP Professional 32-bit operating system, and I browse with Firefox 20.0.1.

    Download and run the offline installer from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the header Progress Bar Hangs).

  • Problems installing/updating Flash Player

    Hello
    I am currently running Windows 7 64bit
    I noticed that my web browser would hang when playing certain flash based adverts on web pages. I wasn't sure of this was a Firefox 4 problem or a Flash problem so thought to re-install flash player in the first instance and go from there
    In add/remove programs I noticed that the version installed was 10.3.181.22 but in the addons section in Firefox it was showing as 10.3.181.14
    Anyway, using add/remove programs I uninstalled Flash Player and rebooted my PC. I downloaded the 10.3.181.22 installer from the Adobe website but now when I try to run it I keep getting the error message “The installation encountered errors: Flash Player could not be installed because an existing version may still be in use. Please close all applications using Flash Player and try again”
    However when I go into add/remove programs again Flash Player is installed as version 10.3.181.22. Checking the addons in Firefox it is showing as 10.3.181.14. The Adobe website also shows me as having WIN 10,3,181,14
    I have been through the Troubleshoot Flash Player Installation webpage and tried the stuff there in but I am still having the problem. Has anyone seen this before or have any ideas as to what might be causing it?
    Many Thanks

    Hi, it sounds like some application that uses Flash may have not been disabled. Try this: Download and SAVE the Uninstaller to your Desktop:   http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html 
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for IE- use the EXE Installer (if you want FP Installed in IE)
    http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Download and SAVE to your Desktop the Installer for FF- use the EXE Installer for plugin based (from the same site)
    Close all browser windows, disable any instant messenger services as yahoo, msn, etc from the system tray(area near the clock)
    Disable your realtime Anti-Virus.
    Use the Administrator Account
    Run the Uninstaller and then reboot(restart) your computer.
    Check to make sure your Anti-Virus is still disabled.
    Then Run the Installer for IE(if you want Flash Player Installed), then Run the Installer for FF. When finished, Reboot.
    Turn your Anti-Virus back on along with anything disabled in the system tray.
    Test each browser here, and you should be able to see the Flash Player logo(Red F) animate(spin)
    http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    You can print these instructions out to make it easier to follow since you will be offline until finished.
