Since the beginning of 2021, Adobe Flash Player technology support ended, through which it was possible to create interactive websites for years in a relatively simple way, despite the disadvantages it offered with respect to HTML or other programming languages, due to the large number of vulnerabilities it presented.
And while it is true that still there are still alternatives to continue using it, actually most current websites do not need it and work without it, so from Microsoft they released an update that eliminated the official support of Adobe Flash in Windows. Here we will show you how to know whether or not this update is installed on your computer.
Find out if your computer has the patch that removes Adobe Flash Player
As we mentioned, it is important to know if you have this patch since it can pose serious threats to the security of your computer if you continue to have Flash Player support natively. However, you should not worry since it is possible to check it easily.
To do this, all you have to do is, on your team, go to Settings (Windows + I)> Update and security> Windows Update> View update history, with which you will get a list of all the updates installed on the computer to be displayed.
Within this list, all you have to do is check if the update with the label has been installed on your computer KB4577586, which is the patch to remove Adobe Flash Player. Within the list, it will be displayed within the other updates section, although it is true that you will have to search for it manually among the others. If it appears, it means that Adobe Flash Player is no longer installed on your computer and that, therefore, you will no longer be able to use web pages that are based on this technology.
