Flash Player update 16.0.0.235 prevents pictures in emails downloading Outlook 2013

Windows 7 64-bit. Updating Flash Player from V 15.0.0.246 to recently released V 16.0.0.235 causes an unintended consequence. Within Outlook 2013, images/icons included within a HTML email are prevented from downloading, leaving the red crosses where they should be displayed. The option 'Click here to download pictures' no longer appears above HTML emails, and pictures/icons do not display within emails from sources already in 'Safe senders list'. I could not find a solution and have had to use 'Restore Point' to revert to previous version of Flash Player to restore normality. The conclusion is that there is an issue with V16.0.0.235 that interferes with Outlook 2013.
Adobe please look at this issue.

To Jeromie: What you note ... that everyone else, including the folks that write and maintain this software, USE it .. is understood and all the more frustrating! I do respect you guys and appreciate your comments! As I said, I am no tech person, just 'get by' reasonably with my functionality on computers ... but can follow reasonable directions. I too get intrigued, as you say, at least as a curious/interested outsider. I keep our PCs up to date (automatic and periodic manual checks) and we don't game, visit 'questionable' sites or download a lot of anything .. and are very careful and 'smart'- careful - users of email and the interwebs. I just know from when I worked (I'm retired), our office IT persons were good about sharing their own frustrations with oddities with software of many stripes and the way a small 'glitch' would effect one PC or server and not several others. So I'm glad to see someone looking at this with some level of interest. It is not unlike that recurring issue with my RAM truck ... makes the darndest sound at only odd times that cannot be intentionally duplicated and the techs don't have a clue. "Bring it in when it does it again" .. "but it doesn't do it constantly and it just suddenly stops" .. "Sorry, don't know what to tell you" .... And these days, it too could be a software issue!
An update: When I uninstalled Flash and opened Outlook, graphics that only a moment earlier would not open, just popped open as normal! Then an hour or so after posting on this topic on 1/17, I re-installed Flash and everything continues to function just fine in Outlook. The only common denominator seems to be Flash Player (or something associated with it), no? Seems there are so many interconnecting aspects to these interdependent software codes that it doesn't take much for even one or two individual machines to have an odd aspect to their configuration or something that creates this kind of 'software confusion' that flips a switch or something.
Adopee is a very frustrating piece of software ... gotta have it so often, but it has issues. It repeatedly crashes on any machine I've ever used. No common denominator, it just up and quits after running fine for X days, or X hours. Then you reload and you're back up. And now I see on Computerworld Security: January 27, 2015, that Adobe isn't minding their own store again. So I disabled it from automatically loading in FFox. Hope I don't have this issue again, but maybe it's like the old PC adage, "if it locks up, just reboot"... but what a pain. THX

Adobe Flash Player Update Dialog - Confused

Hello,
Configuration: OS X v10.6.8, Safari 5.1.7
On May 29th, I updated to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player: Shockwave Flash 11.2 r202 — from file “Flash Player.plugin” (version 11.2.202.235).
Over the past few days, I keep getting this dialog while using my browser:
I'm confused about this, since the Apple Support Article: HT5271 says:
Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Lion, Safari 5.1.7 for OS X Snow Leopard, and Leopard Security Update 2012-003 disable out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player. Out-of-date versions of Adobe Flash Player do not include the latest security updates and will be disabled to help keep your Mac secure. If Safari 5.1.7 or Leopard Security Update 2012-003 detects an out-of-date version of Flash Player on your system, you will see a dialog informing you that Flash Player has been disabled. The dialog provides the option to go directly to Adobe's website, where you can download and install an updated version of Flash Player.
This Adobe dialog I'm getting does not seem to follow what the Support Article says. I have installed Security Update 2012-003.
Do I install this per the Adobe dialog I'm seeing OR do I wait for a Mac (Safari) dialog informing me that Flash Player has been disabled providing me with the option to go directly to Adobe's website (as noted in the Apple Support Article: HT5271)?
And do I need to deselect automatic updates in the Flash Player Local Settings Manager (I can't seem to even find the Settings Manager)?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks for the replies Linc and Carolyn!
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
You can select: Never check for updates even though it's not recommended and click Check Now at your own convenience for updates. That will prevent the Flash Player update pop up window.
Do I need to uninstall the old Flash plug-in before doing this?

Adobe Flash Player Update 13._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Downloaded Adobe Flash Player 13 a few days ago after Adobe kept prompting me to update for an enhanced video player experience with popups from Adobe. Every time I go to play a video or game, this VERY annoying pop up askes me to accept or deny third party storage on my computer which also allows them to access my info.
I DO NOT ACCEPT, however, it is very resistant to disappearing after several attempts. How do I get rid of this stupid popup. I WILL NOT ALLOW A THIRD PARTY TO ACCESS OR STORE.
Adobe people, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING by making this a part of your perfectly good program? This is not something you make the public aware of before downloading.......shame on you.
PLEASE GIVE ME OPTIONS FOR REMOVAL IMMEDIATELY!

You're infected with adware.
It didn't come from Adobe but it DOES use Flash Player to run the popups.
There are literally millions of fake "Flash Player Updates" out there, and you most likely got one. It installed the adware with it.
You'll need to run a throrugh system scan to remove the offending software, and afterward, ONLY update Adobe software from this site, to prevent a reoccurrance.

Flash Player update install/download stops at 2 of 3

I've never had any problems in the past with installing/downloading Adobe Flash Player updates. Now I am. Why? I know Adobe Flash Player is installed on my computer, I've checked to make sure it is enabled and I have also disabled or unchecked the ActiveX filtering too. If I choose not to install Google Chrome for downloading the newest Flash Player update, does this cause the install/download to not complete and stop at 2 of 3 steps? I believe I have unchecked Google Chrome in the past with no issues, but not sure now. I usually have to go in uninstall Google Chrome because it always seems to mess with my Facebook page. So I no longer want Google Chrome installed on my computer because of this.
The install/download never gets to this point so I can finish the install/download because stops at 2 of 3 steps :
Any advise as to what to do now?

Hi,
Based on your screenshot, I'm guessing the 'Save File' option never becomes available. Is that correct. I also see the file being downloaded has '14' in it, which means this is a version 14 file, which you shouldn't be getting as we're up to version 17. I've forwarded this to the folks who handle the online installer to investigate. In the meantime, you can use the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Windows page, in the 'Still having problems' section. There are several installer types for various browsers. You'll want to update Flash Player for all browsers you use, unless you have Windows 8.x in which case, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE and prevents installation using the Flash Player installer, as updates are performed via updates to IE.

How do I trigger a Flash Player update?

On Vista machine, when (limited privledges) Visitor loged in, there was an "Adobe Flash Player update available" pop-up. I do not do any updates as Visitor and so logged out and back in as admin. But I cannot seem to get that pop-up message. I have looked at the Global Notifications Settings Panel and Notify me when an update to Adobe Flash Player is available is checked.
There is an update, the settings is set to notify me, but I don't get a notification (I presume that's what the pop-up was/is).
Or does the notification only happen once a day and only for one one account on a PC?

3 years later...
In Windows 7,
Start -> type "cmd" into the search box (without the quotes)
Windows should find a program named cmd
Click on it to start command prompt.
A black text window should appear, with a prompt and cursor.
At the prompt you want to run the FlashUtil program with the -update plugin argument but the problem is that
The version number changes with each update, and
Over time, adobe changes where in the file system it stores this file
So, you will probably have to search for a similar program. Once you find it, replace mine below with the program you found, and the path you found it in.
The following command works today on my system. As you can see i'm currently on version 14.0.0.145 (I will be upgrading to version 16.0.0.235 today.)
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\FlashUtil32_14_0_0_145_plugin.exe -update plugin
Running this command (with the right FlashUtil exe file, once you find it) produces the familiar flash update notification window popup, which looks like this (for the v16.0.0.235 update):

After installing Flash player updates, Recently Closed Windows in History menu lost

Hi Friends,
This is just an annoying problem, not really serious, I guess. Whenever I download and install Flash Player updates, History > Recently Closed Tabs, and History > Recently Closed Windows, are wiped out.
This is a problem for me, because when I log on to my computer every morning, I use History > Restore Previous Session, to get back all the tabs I had open the night before. And often also Recently closed Windows, if I had a 2nd and/or 3rd Ff window open last night. After I install Flash Player, the previous session becomes the Adobe update site. I think I can avoid losing the previous session, by making sure I open my previous session before I start the download and installation.
(I don't use fully automatic updates for Flash. I have the system alert me when it's ready, and then the next time I log on to the internet, the download popup window appears. I don't know why it waits until the next time I log on, instead of right after I click ok (and also ok on Spybot S&D and WinPatrol alerts). And I know you can't provide support for that part. But just to let you know all the relevant info :-) .)
So normally, if I've done something to lose my previous session (with all my usual tabs) (usually when I'm in a hurry and don't notice that I've opened Ff without restoring previous session) I can still get that session because it shows up in Recently Closed Windows.
But after I install the Flash update, Recently Closed Windows (and Recently closed Tabs) are both wiped out.
I'm hoping someone can sort this out, and I can just change some setting somewhere, to prevent this. Or maybe like the previous session, and remembering to open it, before I start the dl, it might just be a matter or altering my habits. I can't think of any habit changing that would work though. So that's why I'm asking all you wise Ff users :-) Hopefully it's not a bug?
Thank you very much for any insight, comments or suggestions :-D
All best.

hello, this problem happens since the adobe installer triggers the opening of a browser window once the update is finished, which then overwrites the last session...
you could try if adding ''SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1'' to the adobe mms.cfg configuration file addresses that issue, as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/administration-configure-auto-update-notification.html

Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are

I get following message:
Adobe® Flash® Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
How can I solve this?

People,
Listen. This service is, has been and seemingly will be: FREE. So while emotions are running on the hot side of the guage, let's remember; it is FREE. Adobe owes no one anything. Now who's to blame, really? We, the people are to blame. Why? Because everyone has been ok with the fact that one company essentially designed and released a technology for streaming from the net. One company. And almost all of us are using this one company's technology to stream; for FREE.
But now we are not ok with it when, after we are prompted to update, we have the issue of it not working? We all never saw the ridiculously high potential for this one company to screw things up, intentionally or otherwise? What the ramifications, that we are now experiencing, might be? Nah, we just took it for granted that we would continue to be served. Well the serve came, everyone. Mistake or otherwise.
It's like this country [US], up until four-years ago. Everyone was either running around with snow shovels and hefty garbage bags to gather all the money they were making or sailing the seas of expectation and an, 'I am out there to get mine' attitude, and then the sh*t hits the fan and now people are complaining? About the very system until four years ago was spoon feeding them poolside with mai-tai's? While it was crushing everyone else in the known world?
No doubt it seems incredulous that a multi-billion dollar company has an IT department that would include in an update, for their own software, that would be inconducive to working. No doubt. But keep in mind: we are all either using browsers by Apple or MS. Anything happens to these browsers, including a virus or anything else that threatens our use of them and...?
So climb off the haughty, 'I deserve' crap and walk on the solid ground of trying to resolve this issue here at Adobe and around the net. If we were to band together, as the 99%, we could solve this, no problem. But then that holds true with resolving this fictitious economic downturn nonsense, that we solidly take for truth at face value, because our mainstream media says so. But no other species on this rock flying through space would know what the f*ck we were talking about.

Flash Player Update disables "restore all windows from last session" in Safari on Mac

I am on Mac OS 10.9.5, using safari 7.1.2. Adobe Flash Player Update loses all safari windows when after update the installer automatically opens safari and just opens flash player website; the "restore all windows from last session" is grayed out in history. The "reopen last closed window" is also grayed out. It has been happening ever since and happened again when I just installed Flash Player ver 16.0.0.257.
For all other normal working situation I can close safari and reopen and see that I can "restore all windows from last session" and there is no problem. But on flash Player install (set on manual install), the problem is annoying and costs me a lot of time to restore one by one from history. I do not think this is a Mac or a Safari issue, but will update to Mac Yosemite help if Adobe Flash Player is updated differently in that setup?
Please help.

Update: I called adobe flash player technical support phone number 1 877-587-1877. They want $59 (warranty only 6 months) to fix this problem as they use a third party to solve this issue; they themselves provide no support. Or buy the paid version. They insist it is my network issue which I absolutely can not believe.
It is adobe Flash player update that forces reopening of safari and wracks the safari losing all windows from last session. That is not my network. Adobe does not have a proper safari compatible flash player update.
Besides, this is a known problem at Adobe and they are not fixing it and want money to fix it one person at a time! They also shared that 25% to 30% of the installations have this problem... wow!! and they still will not fix it in a general update! I wonder if safari has a plug in update that can fix this?

How do I install adobe flash player update

I've downloaded the adobe flash player update. It says thank you, here are some more products I might like, such as photo shop etc. I don't want them.
But I still can't play videos on youtube etc.

First uninstall all previous versions of flash player by using Flash Player Uninstaller then install Adobe Flash Player Software.

Running without Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task

I'm trying to understand how to avoid installing Adobe Flash Player Updater Scheduled Task.
I am also unable to remove the Scheduled Task using a script that works on other tasks, on the same workstations.
Is there an mms.cfg setting that will instruct the installer to skip the Task?
1) Uninstall the Scheduled Task from all workstations in my environment.
2) Install future updates without the Scheduled Task.
I have already tried mm.cfg with these lines:
AutoUpdateDisable=1
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=0
It still runs the update process every hour.
I have explained that it hasn't been causing a problem, but running this many processes on so many computers for no reason is causing some concern.
My organization also does not allow big bang automation included with this product.
Has anyone managed to shut off the Updater process from running?
Thank you

Hi Ethan,
try creating an MST file, with Fx, Wise package studio...
Edit the CustomAction “NewCustomAction1” added the parameter “-au 2” to the Command line argument.
you should do that for both:
install_flash_player_11_active_x.msi
and
install_flash_player_11_plugin.msi
If you are using both of them..
Or you can delete the scheduled task with schtask /delete "taskname"

Help needed installing Flash Player Update on Mac

I am trying to install a flash player update on Mac - right now the one site I'm trying to use says flash is out of date. Will not accept my adobe password, reset it through the adobe site and still will not work. Tried Chat help and agent said to reset password through the Apple screen. When I try that it asks for apple id and password but there is only a place for the password. Any suggestions.

Hi,
This is the OS (Apple) prompting for the password, not Flash Player, therefore, the password is your Apple password, not Adobe ID password. Please see What userid & password do I need to install Flash Player?

Error: Flash Player "Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem ..."

I get the following message as soon as I boot up my PC:
"Adobe Flash Player Update Service 11.3 r300 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
According to Adobe, this is the first time they've heard of this issue.

RE:
23. jbacinti, --Jul 22, 2012 2:30 PM in reply to Carolo43
Unchecking auto updates does not stop the message for me.
Sorry to hear that too. I actually recommended this to a few friends who were having the same issue, and it worked for them.
But, I'm wondering.... Have you tried disabling the check for updates settings in both the (Window's Control Panel's) Global settings manager and the (online) Global Notifications Settings panel? (That's the one on this page -- http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager02.htm l ) On that page, click on the "Globe with the Check Mark" tab and make sure that the box is blank.
Hope this helps.
