How to upgrade Flash Player in Windows 8.1 Pro

I have windows 8.1 pro with IE 11 and the news video won't be able to play online. The error message is "Sorry, Clip not found...Media not found". It gives only an option to click 'OK' and the screen stays black. I am sure the video is OK, because I can run it on Windows 7.
I contacted Microsoft Support and they suggested I upgrade my flash player. My flash player version is 13.0.0.206 and the lasts is 13.0.0.214. I tried to upgrade and it says "Flash player is integrated in Windows 8" and no option to install it.
I also tried uninstall Flash player with Uninstall Flash Player tool but it did not uninstall Flash even though the message said 'uninstalled successfully'.
In brief, how do I correct 'Sorry, clip not found. Media not found' when I play online video? This is a news video, not movie or youtube and how do I upgrade Flash on Windows 8.1 with IE 11.
Thank You.

Hi Texan,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x systems and you can only update Flash Player for IE by updating Internet Explorer. Microsoft releases Internet Explorer updates whenever there is a Flash Player update (usually monthly). To update your version of Internet Explorer go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Windows Update > Check for Updates. Since you don't have the latest version of Flash Player, it should find the 'Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 (KB2957151)' released May 13, 2014. Alternatively, the URL for this specific download is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2957151.
If you also have other non-IE browsers, you can install/update Flash Player by going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer using the non-IE browser and the page will present you with the appropriate version for the OS and browser.

Cannot run adobe flash player on windows 8.1 pro with IE 11

this is very frustrating and I have research multiple Q&A on this forum with no resolution.
When I try to run adobe flash player I get the error:
Either Flash Player is disabled or ActiveX Filter is ON.
Please follow trouble shooting steps to play Flash content.
I have gone through the steps to attempt to resolve this as indicated on the adobe site and it is not resolved
Enable Flash Player
Disable ActiveX Filtering
Update Internet Explorer to get latest version of Flash Player
I have removed and re-added IE 11.
I have been trying to research this for days and have hit a dead end.
Any recommendations?

@paula1228,
I'm sorry you're encountering issues with Flash Player on Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. There is a new Flash Player update available today. The new update should be available from the link at the bottom of the Flash Player Issues | Windows 8 page. You can also run Windows Update from the Control Panel to obtain the latest update (KB2974008). If the latest update doesn't display, install all available updates and then check for updates again.
@NerdyWasabi,
Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer on Windows 8.x. Users cannot install Flash Player for Internet Explorer on their own. They must install the Internet Explorer Update for Flash Player to update Flash Player on Windows 8.x

How to remove Flash Player from Windows 2012 R2?

We don't use any of our server to navigate websites and we don't install any third party softwares. Windows 2012 R2 comes with flash player which we don't need and we definitely wanna remove that software. How can I remove it?

A little more information to possibly close this out.
The patch you are wondering about - 2942844 - was superceded by 2755801 on May 13. Since my tests were after that, they would be getting the new patch and not the old patch. Evidently the new patch did not contain 'Adobe Flash' in the title.
Furthermore, what the patch is doing is patching Adobe Flash libraries used by Internet Explorer. It it not patching an installation of Adobe Flash. Those libraries are part of the Windows distribution to allow for use of Adobe Flash by the browser
without the need to install Flash on the system.
Ergo, Adobe Flash, as stated from the beginning, is not part of the Windows Server distribution. But there are libraries that Adobe provides in the distribution.
In the future, if you have questions about what's happening, Microsoft documents every patch in pretty minute detail. My bad for not looking at the detailed information in the first place. To look up any security advisory with the detailed information,
modify this URL -
https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/2755801 - replacing the seven digits at the end with the KB number.

How to install Flash Player with Windows Vista 64 bit?

IE 9, Windows Vista 64-bit, Flash Player quit working and won't install. Error Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55. I have deactivated User Accounts and Security, gone to Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash and Run as Administrator NPSWF32_FlashUtil, and still not working. One suggestion was to run an add-on from Macromedia, but that failed and I don't know what the add-on was. Have also run System Restore and restored all my Internet security setttigs to default. Nothing is working!

If you can not see the moving sphere: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
Check the following:
Enabling Flash Player in Internet Explorer 9
ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer 9
Also check this:
In I.E.9, click Tools, click Internet options, click Security tab, ensure that the Internet security level is Medium-high.

Downloading and/or upgrading Flash Player with Windows 8.1 on EI

I have windows 8.1 and now receiving messages on EI to install Flash Player 11.1..
I tried several times and each time it goes around in circle and I get nowhere.
Please help...

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.

No iOS device supports Flash. Check the website which hosts the streams or the iTunes App Store for alternatives.

Upgrade adobe flash player on windows 8 ?

How do I upgrade adobe flash player on windows 8?
Please help some one..

It depends on your web browser of choice, not OS. If you use IE or FireFox, go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and you will be able to download and install the lastest version of Flash Player.
Chrome has it's own built in Flash Player that updates silently in the background, but you can use the link in Chrome to install the standard Flash Player as well. Then you just need to modify the settings for Chrome to look to the standard Flash Player instead of the one built into Chrome. But that usually requires a specific need.
I've also moved this to the Flash Player Forum.

Flash player in windows 8.1 always says to upgrade to latest to play games on facebook. When i try it says i have the latest

I have a Toshiba satellite L75D-A7283 laptop and for 9+ months I have had the same problem, green screen on video's and when trying to play facebook games it says I need the latest player. I have to restart not just IE but my entire computer in order for flash player to work and sometimes that doesn't work. When I try to update to the lastest flash player it says I already have it. When I go to test the flash player it says either flash player is disabled or active x filter is on which is neither true. It also says that E.I. is the latest also. This is frustrating and want it fixed so what is my next step ?

Hello,
Beginning in Windows 8, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in Internet Explorer. In order to update Flash Player, you must install the Internet Explorer for Flash Player updates, via Windows Updates. Depending on what updates are installed, Windows does require a system restart.

Can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

can any one tell me how to install flash player on powerbookg4.i actully uninstall it to upgrade it but now i can not install new one.it always says get flash player for powerpc when i try to install it after downloading.it is 10.5.8 version

Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

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?
