Adobe Flash Player was integrated with Google Chrome in June 2010 for Windows, Mac and Google Chrome will use the downloaded plug-in version of Flash Player (if it is installed on Mac, PepperFlashPlayer.plugin, Flash Player.plugin. Adobe Flash Player is directly integrated with Google Chrome and enabled by default. Available updates for Adobe Flash Player are automatically included in Chrome system updates So, as per this, Flash Player should be updated automatically during the Chrome System Updates.

'Hi guys, for the past few weeks my Adobe Flash Player mysteriously stopped functioning when using Google Chrome (it's supposed to be built in). Mac's running Sierra 10.12.4 in Chrome (57.0).' People Also Read: • • This is not an exclusive problem for iMac, MacBook, Mac mini, Mac Pro. Many users who are using Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP have also been annoyed by the inactivity of flash.

If you're experiencing the problem that Adobe Flash Player is not working on Chrome, there are FIVE workable solutions for you. Let's now dive in. CONTENTS Solution 1: Check for Google Update Always remember to keep your Google Chrome up to date. Otherwise, annoyance crops up.

A new version is meant to fix unexpected glitches and bugs so that users can enjoy a great experience. However, if Chrome has left outdated for long, you cannot blame it for making you nuisances.

Go to ' ┆' > ' Help' > ' About Google Chrome' and make sure your Chrome is updated to the latest version. Solution 2: Enable to Run Flash Some have reported that the 'Flash' option is somehow off in settings. You should navigate to '┆' > 'Settings' and unfold ' Advanced'. Then, under 'Privacy and security', click ' Content settings'. Go to 'Flash' and make sure that you've enabled ' Ask first'. Moreover, if Adobe Flash Player is not working with certain sites only, you should check out whether the sites are listed under the 'Block' section. You may need to unblock them by removing away from the list.

Solution 3: Disable Flag If you're using an outdated Chrome and still unwilling to keep it updated, this solution is for you. You should copy and paste this: chrome://flags/#prefer-html-over-flash into the Address Bar and press the 'Enter' key.

Make sure that the Flag is disabled. Note that: If you're running the latest Chrome, you cannot find this 'Prefer HTML Over Flash' flag. Solution 4: Reinstall Adobe Flash Player If the above solutions fail to get you out of trouble, perhaps this is something wrong with Adobe Flash Player itself.

You should go to to check out whether there is a new version available. Or, you can download and install the latest version on your computer. Solution 5: Clear Cached Data This workaround may seem a bit unbelievable for you. However, the truth is that the redundant cached history will store somewhere in your Win/Mac and it would be making troubles if you've not removed this pile of cache for long. Clearing browsing cache takes less than one minute. Why not give it a shot?

Simply go to ' Settings' > ' More tools' and click ' Clear browsing data'. I welcome any feedback and idea. Please do let me know your thoughts. If you like this post, it'll be a huge help if you can share this article with others.

Adobe Flash Player used to be a built-in feature in Chrome, but now that the built-in version has been disabled when Chrome 55 was rolled out, users needed to download the plug-in version. Along with it is one specific problem – updating will no longer be automatic. Even with the HTML5 set as default in Chrome 55, many users still prefer the Flash Player. They’re likely to continue to do so until website owners, ad creators, and everyone who uses Flash starts using HTML5.

This leaves them no choice but to enable the Flash player plugin in Chrome. But how will they go about upgrading to the latest version of the Adobe Flash Player? How to quickly update Flash Player with Google Chrome • Open your Chrome browser • On the address bar, type in chrome://components. From the list of components that will appear, look for Adobe Flash Player.
