Flash Player no longer works in Internet Explorer on Win8.1 after system tune-up

I recently had my laptop computer tuned up. After the service I have lost the use of Adobe Flash Player. I have already done the basics. I went to Manage Add-ons and ensured Shockwave Flash was enabled. I went to Safety and ensured ActiveX was not checked. I also downloaded the latest version of the software; Flash Player 15. When I check the status on the Adobe site it states that Flash Player is installed but disabled. I have checked it a number of times and Shockwave is truly enabled. I can no longer watch videos and at those sites I get a message that states I need Flash Player to watch the videos. I have a Lenovo laptop with Windows 8.1. I have also tried with Chrome and have the same result. Flash Player worked fine before the tune-up and the company that did the service says it is a common problem with Windows 8.1 but offers no solutions. Does anyone have a recommendation or solution? I would greatly appreciate any assistance. Thank you!

Hello Jeromie,
Thank you for the follow up. I was aware that Flash Player is included with Windows 8.1. This makes it even more frustrating because it is included and yet doesn't now work. I have not attempted to install it but I did download the latest version. I am frustrated because there is no way to speak with anyone directly at Adobe as to whether there is a fix but I do appreciate your expertise and advice. I have done the system checker with no improvement. I have also updated Java Script on the chance that would help but that does not seem to be the issue.
There is something blocking the enabling of Flash Player between Internet Explorer and Adobe Flash Player. Flash Player is enabled through Manage Add-ons but when the status is checked on Adobe it shows it disabled. I was considering resetting Internet Explorer to default settings to see if that would help since all this happened after my computer service. But that reset would permanently change any and all other settings I have done.
I am going to try and find an expert tech who may be able to get this resolved. I am still hopeful that you or someone else reading this post may be able to offer a solution. If not, I will have to learn to live with it until Microsoft decides to correct the issue.
Thank you!

Adobe Flash Player does not work in Internet Explorer 10 on Microsoft Windows 8

I understand that Google Chrome and IE10 have their own automatic update system, however, any site requiring me to use adobe flash player to view videos does not work no matter what I try. I have:
Used the desktop version of IE versus that Start version and both provide me with the same message.
Tried uninstalling and then reinstalling but I receive an error message stating that Flash player is already installed and I know that it is not because I have unistalled it. I received this message: Installer encountered an error: 0x80248000
I even used Ccleaner to hopefully remove any files that were left behind.
I have gone to Tools, then compatibility settings, unchecked automatic update list from Microsoft. there are no websites on that list t remove.
I have double-checked that the flash player add-on is enabled.
I have also checked security settings and enabled Scripting for Java
I have also made sure that I disabled ActiveXFiltering.
Basically, I have tried to use Adobe's websites to figure out the issue at the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-issues-windows-8.html#main-pars_header _1
None of the tips fixed my issue.
I have Windows 8, recently upgraded from Windows 7. I have a 64-bit machine, when I tried, just in case I was wrong, to install 32-bit, I receive an error. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone may provide. Is there a customer service number by any chance for software we have not paid for but instead it comes with our computers? I really need to be able to use discussions and watch Teachertube, youtube, and other videos to complete grad schools assignments.
Please help me!

It sounds like you might have additional software on your system that is interfering with Flash Player. You mentioned that this is happening for both Chrome and Internet Explorer, correct? I've got a similar system (Win 8 upgraded from 7, 64bit) and I've never had any problems.
I'd recommend trying to temporarily disable any security, antivirus, firewall software that you have running. You might also want to try starting in Safe Mode with Networking enabled (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode) to see if Flash works once all utilities and services have been disabled.
Finally, do either of these links play video back?

Adobe Flash Player 11 not working on Internet Explorer

Hello, I know this has been a question most people asked but it's not that simple for me
My computer is a Samsung Series 5 Laptop, with Windows 7 Home Premium K 64Bits.
The computer specs are as shown below:
DualCore Processor 2.2Ghz each with a 8 GB RAM. I put up a screenshot of it in the attachments (Sorry it's in Korean)
The problem is the fact that despite having successfully installed Adobe Flash Player, Korean websites do not show the areas where the Flash Players are involved!
I checked where most people look at first: I enabled shockplayer on the addon (Shockwave Flash Object), not to mention disabling Direct X Filtering
THe problems persisted... I checed my Java and it was up to date, not to mention working fine. THe interesting thing is some flash objects are working. THe places where
adobe flash player is involved in www.naver.com or uic.yonsei.ac.kr shows up BLANK!
It works fine in Google Chrome. It even works fine for some websites in IE 9 such as http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/new-fantasyland/ (I just tried this one, it's not a website I go to)
But somehow websites such as http://www.adobe.com/kr/products/flashplayer.html itself doesn't show flash player linked images/videos!
Here's proof of that (note that I right clicked on the blank spot to prove that the space is not meant for blank but for adobe flash as shown in the last option)
If there are more things I should elaborate on, please comment below!
I'm looking forward to a solution to my problems as well as hoping to talk to some really good Computer-Know-Alls
I really need to understand my computer better to avoid such problems T.T

Oh and just to show how things look like with the problem, it's like this:
And this is what it's supposed to look like:
So yeah, the whole space just turns empty - I can still click on blank spaces and it leads me to the appropriate links (though I have no clue what links I am actually clicking on in IE9, it only shows up for google chrome
I'm looking forward to constructive replies~ Hopefully someone would see this soon

Flash Player No Longer Working

My Adobe flash player has stopped working on Internet pages. (I can no longer view flash videos.) I have a 64-bit PC using Windows 7 and am running Internet Explorer 11. I've made sure I have the latest version of Flash Player installed, but still no go. I've gone through some of the help pages on the Adobe website, but they have been of no help.

where can i watched video tutorial for this or help me please

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?
right click in the browser and click the tools button
In the menu that appears, select "view on the desktop"
Once IE launches in the window, do you see your Flash content?

Adobe Flash Player no longer works

Adobe Flash Player no longer works. I can't access FB games, videos, YouTube and other items needing Adobe Flash Player. I've uninstalled, re-installed, tried to update but was told not necessary as it is updated yet constantly get an error message that I have to have Flash Player before I can use that app. Any advice or suggestions? BTW, it worked Monday night but not Tuesday a.m. with no changes to anything in between.

Flash Player No Longer Works on Macintosh or Windows

I have installed, reinstalled, done the permissions thing,
tried everything - but Flash Player no longer works.
Many of my friends have the same problem.
I wish Adobe had never bought Macromedia. Macromedia was
pretty perfect. I never EVER had a problem with flash before Adobe
got involved.
I have to install the flash player every single time I want
to open up a browser now.
I have a brand new MacBook Pro Intel, 15 inch - new OS,
etc,....
I've read lots of grief from windows users in these forums
who are experiencing the same problem.
Has anyone else had this problem on a Macintosh? Have you
found any solutions?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
much thanks

It definitely appears to be a flash related issue, more then the browser, as i've tried different versions of firefox and chrome and they all have the same problem with the newer versions of flash

Flash player no longer works

Two weeks ago Flash Player suddenly stopped working on my PC. Coincidentally, a number of my friends are having the same problems. We have all tried the recommendations given but none of us can get it to work?
Why has it stopped working so suddenly?

Hi again,
I just checked my Display Adapter driver, and I have version 8.15.10.2509, dated 2011-08-31.
I went to the Intel download center to check for new drivers for your graphics cards, and I found that mine is also slightly outdated; the latest version is 8.15.10.2555, dated 2011-10-19.
Here is the download link: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20601&ProdId=2991&lang=eng& OSVersion=Windows%20Vista%2064*&DownloadType=Drivers
Click on the Download button, then accept the License Agreement. You will be asked to run or save file Win7Vista_64_151718.exe - I recommend that you save it to disk.
Next close all applications and open Windows Explorer. From there (Downloads) double-click file Win7Vista_64_151718.exe
P.S. just to be on the safe side, can you make a System Restore Point before doing the driver update? See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Create-a-restore-point
If anything in my instructions are not clear, please don't hesitate to ask for clarification.

Flash player no longer working with latest update?

I'm running Google Chrome with Windows 7, and after Adobe updated a couple days ago, videos on certain websites (ex. Vudu) stopped working. Netflix and Youtube videos continued to run perfectly fine. Today, youtube continues to work fine, but now Netflix has stopped playing videos as well. Most websites will give an error saying either it couldn't connect, the video doesn't exist, or the video will just sit loading and never play. I know my internet connection is fine, and as previously stated, I have had no problems watching youtube videos. I figure this has to be a problem with, or caused by Adobe since the problems did not occur until immedately after updating to the latest version. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

For Chrome, please see this FAQ for reporting issues and a possible workaround to try:

Flash Player movies not activating in Internet Explorer

I had Internet Explorer 6.0 and now 7.0... same thing occurs
in both programs... PROBLEM: I have a very simple webpage with
Flash Buttons for navigation. When I load the page in IE, the
buttons are NOT activated. When I put my mouse over the control, a
message reads... "Click to activate and use this control". I have
tried to ENABLE every ActiveX control option I can find in IE
settings to allow Flash Player to run as an add-on. I have deleted
Flash Player and reloaded the page, it asks me to install Flash 9.0
which I have done. But when I load the webpage... the controls are
not active till I click on them to activate then I have to click
again for the navigation. I AM TOTALLY DUMBFOUNDED and pulling my
hair out to get these controls to work. They work fine in
FireFox... The HTML code is correct for the Object & Embed
tags. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! It would be greatly appreciated!

This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released their latest "untested" browser. The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
