Security News > 2020 > December > Adobe now shows alerts in Windows 10 to uninstall Flash Player
With the Flash Player officially reaching the end of life tomorrow, Adobe has started to display alerts on Windows computers recommending that users uninstall Flash Player.
To help secure your system, Adobe will block Flash content from running in Flash Player beginning January 12, 2021.
This year, Adobe introduced a new Flash Player configuration option called 'EOLUninstallDisable' that allows you to suppress the uninstall recommendation alerts.
With Adobe Flash Player reaching the end of life tomorrow and Flash content no longer working as of January 12th, it does not pay to configure this setting.
As previously stated, if you are not using Flash content on your machine, you should not bother delaying the inevitable and uninstall Flash Player now.
