Control Panel shows Flash Player icon but not listed in Programs and Features

Several sites such as Hulu.com and my university homework page keep telling me that I require Flash Player 10 or higher and to download and install before continuing. So when I try, this is the message I get: Flash Player is pre-installed with Internet Explorer in Windows 8. And then in the box below, it says: Flash Player is disabled. I've tried all of the steps to correct this issue, but nothing is working for me. Also the control panel shows the Flash Player icon, but when I go into the programs and features, Flash Player is not listed at all. What am I doing wrong??
OS WINDOWS 8 and IE 8

Hi,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x so you won't see a separate item in Programs and Features for Flash Player ActiveX (the version used by IE). If you install Flash Player Plug-in for non-IE browsers it'll create an entry in Programs and Features.
Since you didn't specify which troubleshooting steps you've taken, have you tried the ones listed here Flash Player Issues | Windows 8? Also, when you go to this page, Adobe - Flash Player do you see the Flash animation at the top of the page? If so, what version is detected as being installed in the 'Version Information' widget? The latest Flash Player version for IE is 15.0.0.167. If that's not the version listed, please run Windows Update to get the latest version of Internet Explorer or use the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page.

How To Uninstall Photoshop CC (2014) from Creative Cloud (not listed in Program and Features)

My membership for Creative Cloud has expired and I want to uninstall Photoshop CC 2014 from my system.
The ONLY Adobe application listed under 'Program and Features' (Windows 8.1) is the Adobe Creative Cloud, however when I uninstall that all the Adobe Photoshop and Bridge system files remain. When double clicking on photoshop.exe (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC (64 Bit)\photoshop.exe) I get the Creative Cloud 'Renew your Subscription' screen. After then rebooting and reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop, it shows that Photoshop CC, Photoshop CC (2014), and Bridge CC are installed and are all 'up to date'
I have searched everywhere on my system for photoshop uninstall files without success.
Please advise how to delete/uninstall all applications installed by Adobe Creative Cloud when the applications are not listed in the Control Panel 'Programs and Features'

Thank you for the link. I don't want to sound rude, but I said the programs installed by Creative Cloud Desktop are NOT listed in Windows Control Panel's 'Programs and Features'. The link provided is useless.
The only Adobe software listed under 'Program and Features' ('Add or Remove Programs' for Windows XP users) is the Creative Cloud Desktop program itself and when uninstalling that, it does NOT uninstall Photoshop CC (2014) or Adobe Bridge CC. When selecting uninstall for Creative Cloud, no Change options are provided to remove Photoshop CC. Uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop leaves all Photoshop and Bridge system files intact.
Again, I want to uninstall Photoshop CC that was installed by Creative Cloud Desktop and is NOT listed under Program and Features.

Photoshop CC not listed in "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1

Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Bridge CC and Adobe Extension Manager CC are not listed in Control Panel section "Programs and Features" of Windows 8.1. Only Adobe Creative Cloud Manager is listed. I have to install Photoshop CC because the current update failed with error code U44M1P7. The advice of Support is to remove Photoshop and reinstall it because I have no other options to solve this update error. Revo Uninstaller Pro and Ashampoo Uninstaller 5 also do not show Adobe CC programs in their list of programs. What can I do to solve this problem?

Moving this discussion to the Creative Cloud Download & Install forum.
Rosgats is Photoshop, Bridge, and Extension Manager not available to be reinstalled through the Creative Cloud Desktop application? If not then please see CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html. If it is listed as being available then please install using the process listed in Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

How do I uninstall Adobe CS6 Design Standard from my machine? Program is not listed in "Programs and Features".

I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard Installed on my machine and I now have a new machine that I need to put this on. I am trying to uninstall it from my old machine because I need to have the "license" available. However, the adobe programs are not listed in my Windows 7 uninstall dialog box. I assume I uninstalled something on accident (Adobe Application Manager?) that is causing this issue.
I have the physical disc for the CS6 Design Standard. Please I need some help understanding how to uninstall the programs...I can still use them and they are simply icons on my desktop but not listed in my "Programs and Features" dialog box.
I appreciate any assistance you may provide.

Awesome! Deactivating worked...I knew there was something - I just didn't know where to look. Thanks so much. As far as uninstalling the programs, what you said worked perfectly - a little backwords...but its my own fault!
Thanks and i'm soooooo happy that this only took 1/100th of the time that it took to transfer my AutoCAD License!

Flash Player installed but not working....

had a virus 3 days ago which was resolved with assistance from Microsoft. Now Adobe Flash does not work (when I go to Youtube, it says I do not have the latest version. I have unistalled, restarted, installed at least 10 times. Sites still say I need the latest version. I do see Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X in the programs in my control panel. I have downloaded version 10.1.102.64. I am running IE8 (i assume 32-bit since it does not say 64-bit) on Windows Vista. I have checked the files in my windows/system32/macromed/flash folder and it show the following files:
Flash Player Trust folder
Flash10I.ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX.dll
FlashUtil10I_ActiveX
install
I had turned off my Norton AV and firewall. I have also made sure that all security has been set to medium at that java scripting shows as enabled...
Flash player still does does not work: says I need to install latest version on websites (youtube etc.)
HELP!!

Hi, I see you've been on quite a few forums advocating Firefox & Chrome. All this does is give them a browser that perhaps Flash Player would be performing as it should. But it doesn't solve their issue with IE.
And referring users to follow procedures meant for another user under different circumstances and computer configurations
is not in their best interest.
All you are doing is confusing the person, since the required information about their computer has not been obtained.
You may want to rethink posting referrals, I could do that myself, since I'm on a lot of threads here.

Adobe Flash Player installed - but not working

I have Windows 7, 64 bit, with Internet Explorer 11. On the day before Thanksgiving everything was working fine. I received a greeting on 11/27 and was unable to open it - I was told I needed to install Adobe Flash Player - assumed it was an update - but since that time I've been unable to open any of the puzzles on Shockwave, or cards from greeting card providers - probably some other things, but I haven't found out about them yet. Every time I try to open any of these programs, I get a message that I need to install the flash player. My control panel shows that I have Adobe Flash Player 15 Active X, 6 MB, version 15.0.0.239 installed and the add-on manager under tools says it's enabled - but it escapes me what it's enabled to do other than drive me batty and waste all my time. I've rebooted the computer, closed all IE windows, numerous times after uninstalling the program and then reinstalling it - all a waste of time. Is there any advice out there? Linda Kochefko, El Dorado, KS

is Active X Filtering something that should show up under Tools, Manage Add-Ons? If so, I think I had it earlier this week, but it's gone now. In my efforts to eliminate the Flash Player so I could reinstall a working copy, I may have uninstalled too much. It's not listed under Programs or under Tools at this time.

Flash player install but not working

Can find Flash player in programs to uninstall off control panel, but no where else, computer will not play any videos and ask to down load flash player every time.

Flash Player (with the exception of the sandalone "Projector") isn't a program. It's a plugin. While it does should appear in the Add/remove list, it's NOT located in Program Files.
You'll find it in C/Windows/System32/Macromed/Flash
and (on 64 bit systems) C/Windows/SysWOW64/Macromed/Flash

ICloud control panel works with 1 ID but not with another

I don't get what the issue is. I can't get the iCloud control panel to work with my itunes/iCloud ID. I am running Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. I logged in with my wife's iCloud account and it worked, logged out and tried to use mine and nothing. It just sits there and the little circle next to "sign in" just spins.
I downloaded the newest update for the control panel and tried it again. Hers works, mine doesn't. This has been going on for about a year and is really annoying.
It is just on the control panel, my iCloud credentials work fine everywhere else (iCloud website, here, iPhone, iPad), so I know that is not the problem.

Here's one way to simplify some of this code. I know that this has nothing to do w/ the original question, but nevetheless, it's an itch that I feel I have to scratch...
public class ssnBoard extends JFrame implements ActionListener,
    Runnable
    JPanel pane = new JPanel();
    JButton[] numberBtns = new JButton[10];
    Font bigFont;
    Color[] numberButtonColors =
        Color.MAGENTA, Color.red, Color.pink, Color.blue, Color.yellow,
        Color.green, Color.yellow, Color.blue, Color.pink, Color.red
    JButton clear = new JButton("CLEAR");
    JButton cancel = new JButton("CANCEL");
    JTextField RutgersIDField = new JTextField("", 6);and this
        for (int i = 1; i < numberBtns.length; i++)
            pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(i));
        pane.add(setUpNumberBtns(0));
        clear.setFont(smallFont);
        Color c10 = Color.white;
        clear.setBackground(c10);
        clear.setForeground(Color.black);
        clear.addActionListener(this); // register button
        pane.add(clear);
        clear.setFocusable(false);and of course this:
    private JButton setUpNumberBtns(int i)
        JButton myBtn = numberBtns;
myBtn.setFont(bigFont);
myBtn.setBackground(numberButtonColors[i]);
myBtn.setForeground(Color.black);
myBtn.addActionListener(this);
myBtn.setFocusable(false);
return myBtn;

Flash Player installed but not working properly

I have Windows 7 64 bit, and run IE11.
I have Adobe Flash Player installed.
It works fine on my login (administrator) but my young Son can not watch video's, as it says Flash Player is not installed.
How do I fix this please?

Flash Player has updated to 11.87.800.175 today; is it working better?
If not, what means "not working properly"?

Why does latest version of Flash Player download but not work?

I have a new Vostro PC, win7 software preinstalled on 64 bit machine, running IE10. Have had many problems the latest of which is Adobe Flash Player appears to have downloaded but does not work. When I try to view certain internet sources, I get the message to update my Flash Player. I have done all the 7 steps suggested by Adobe support to correct the problem. None works. What now? by the way when I checked the version supposedly installed, it was the latest, but the box next to Adobe plug-in was not checked. is it possible I need both and somehow the plug-in portion is not downloading?

The plugin is only required if you use other brosers like Firefox, or other software that use the plugin.

Flash Player installed but not recognized

I have been prompted to install Flash Player 11 on Amazon. I attempted to install it from your website. After following all instructions, it says that Flash Player 11 was successfully installed. However, when I go back to Amazon (or any other site that plays video) it says that I need Flash Player 11 as if I never installed it! I tried uninstalling Flash Player using your uninstall function from your website, then attempted to install Flash Player again with the same results: it says that Flash Player was installed correctly, but nothing seems to recognize it when I try to play video. Please help!

Could you try the steps outlined in the FAQs below to see if they help?
